I see you
Young and innocent
Beautiful and bright
The world has not
Changed you yet
You are like the wind
Tilting, shifting, changing
Courses every moment
Soft and still and steady
Then strong and whipping through
And in a second
You’re gone
Like a feather, blown away.
I dreamt you
And remembered a time
When I tasted life
I knew not anger or remorse
Only the lightness of hope
I was not free yet
But I could fly
I was not me yet
And I believed anything.
I love you
And everything you are
A boy, a smile, a laugh
A wish
A glimpse of what could be
At my fingertips, inches
Away. The taste lingering
On my lips
But I’ve had this dance
And the song
It always ends.
