Back in childhood it was a game
to count the piggies on the toes
and when the floor was clean
a muddy trail of footprints
blazed a new path inside
Young hormones raging
every comment, when voiced
shoves a wide foot inside
the ever shrinking mouth
Charging on ahead
until brought to your knees
And at the end of day
A mind weary from life
takes comfort in knowing
step after step they'll make
leading the way to home.
-----------------------------------------
A mesmerizing sight to my eyes
so powerful the changes sneak in
the wind that ceased to caress
the void of sounds signaling life
the rich smell of earth evaporates
the bitter taste of dust disappears
The nothingness surrounds a glory
shining rays of amber gold and red
sprinkles of dancing light lead the eyes
all the more marvelous from no distraction
