she has time enough to count moments
as she stills ~
self-poised upon the yellow earth
whispering to flowers
and colouring inside the butterfly
her inner child ~
not much taller than they
and I pause to ponder
is she the shadow of God
in my universe

Thank you for entering my contest with this poem
this has a beautiful magical feel to it, I really like the earthy images that it presents and the fond tone the ending is very strong, and it was my favorite part!
Keep writing
Polly
