A little here
a little over there
a little more here again
so I can paint the clouds
that show the world how to be soft
It is a difficult task for someone who loves
and feels as much as I always feel, especially now
when it becomes a chore to feel and be alive
to finish my quest to be as before
and be like the parents
that I still can't remember
that gave me breath
gave me soul


A little here
a little over there
a little more here again
so I can paint the scenes
that can teach me how to be myself
the self I was when I knew nothing of hate
when peace and love of the whole world spun on
when I didn't care what mortal men thought
when I knew of magic not normality
and beauty was my breath
Perhaps the panther saw
more than I wanted
saw what I am


A little here
a little over there
a little more here again

so I can teach the world to breathe

Honest opinion of your words?

How about very creative,  well thought out,
simply a very nice poem that reflects a lot
of character within it...  And there is no
sugar on this bowl of cereal....
