Music plays drifting through the early night air laughter sounds full of innocence and silly words In the eye of the mind a little brown eyed girl twirls Spinning round and round with a fire in her eyes Thoughts race through words in imaginary games dragons and pirates and treasure is the flavor of smiles Sunlight glints of a fragile four year old too young to be hurt Dizzy with the addiction of movement she starts to fall to the grass Crayons paint the night with cupcakes and hand drawn trains Little gifts of life sprinkling around blonde curls and giggling bodies Smell of living redwood and childhood at its best are the scents of brown hair Memories of flying on rain wet metal swings and hiding in the branches of trees Heavy weight of a silly five year old fills my arms and keeps me balanced Sticky fingers holding tight to mine as loving whispers of gifted secrets touch my ears Light falling from between branches stained a four year old;s head with memories Getting up again a brown eyed girl spins and twirls faster than her dizziness- innocent |

Beautiful, Reminds me of my own childhood when I loved to play outside in the evening and how I hated to be called in to go to bed. Ida |
