Only You, Child Transcendental…

Around the spent

Magic of my own days,

The air you breathe

Hovers like a spell.

Run little gymnast

Run!

Tightly, tightly

Tender limbs crouch,

Tumble and

Intuit footholds.

Child transcendental,

Learn well for the

Benefit of your days,

For much

Is yet to be.

Curl

Roll and drop,

Bell-shaped flower,

Settling on a

Bangle of bright water.

Unfurl,

Stand tall

Like a poised mimosa

Under a sudden rainbow;

And what do I hear,

But the

Universe of your body

Calling.
