pallid lass in pretty purple dress,
is cardboard cutout
paper doll to hide
anew,
between such sheets
of solemn columns,
pressed as leaf
to save antiquity in blue
where once did stand
a full fledged wing in prince,
with eyes
to share in heavens golden hue
as love to shine in miracle
blessed twice
when clouds
did last
mere moments,
my gift to leave
in simple thought to give,
to all who quest
to read between the lines
is find that hidden child
whose voice has lost,
to bigger breeze
blown windy winters cost
and follow trails
that ants leave to sweet ground,
where dirt to gather fabric
stains are worn
as badge of honor
linking soul to sand,
intrepid in this march
toward the warmth
where laughter swaying slow
on branch to ride,
lays path to pave
in tender touch and rhyme
and glory gleaned in joy
to play pretend,
where heart does hear
a bigger beat to bend
so swallow summer whole
and jump headlong,
into sticky serpentine surprise
where truth is felt forever
fever born,
on shoulders raised in heights
of weights up rise
to gather fruit in fairy lands enchant,
where smile does play
so soft upon your lips
and each flash of time
sparks new adventure,
breathed in wondered sips
