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.
