A Child


 

Let your thoughts float away like clouds

Just you

Looking up from the ground


When you were just a child

It was magic


With dreams of riding the wind

Beyond the tree tops

And up, up, over your town


Hang on to that moment of freedom

Just you

Your dreams

And the clouds.

Hope

 Icy grey

embraces exposed limbs

on trees ready to slumber

til Spring


As they dream

birds alight

and tease their quiet hiding

from gloom.

Observations

 Simple funny man

So awkward and shy

Describing your drawings to me

You look away as if to think

I don't want to hear what you have

to say

Oh the contrary, my friend

Oddly intriguing

in large sunglasses

You are a delight

And a welcomed strangeness

in a bland world

I hope to see you 

again
