moonbeam child
solstice soothsayer
born in an instant of burgeoning light
that tipped the scales from darkness
and issued in the longer coming days
born into night
wide-eyed and curious
born into light
a harbinger of peace
skeptical and eager
small like a bird and cautious
you were
envisioned as a poet
unbridled, bon vivant
envisioned as an anchor
grounded, but not intransigent
envisioned in your early sweetness
intact and calcified
envisioned as a contradiction
of softness and of strength
you move through us like wind
at each of its extremes
combing through the covers
lightly touching everythingDiscussion about this post
