Observing my daughter, nature and a magical lunar eclipse.
The Innocence
They wake to the daylight of school and task
The morning passes with breath eyes wide
Games on the lawn amusing each other
Balls and bats and dizzy excitement
The little girl squeaks ‘hey what’s your name’
And soon enough they run and play
The bell rings and they’re home again
Then a walk to the sand where castles appear
Daylight leaves now for a moment of darkness
Then a moon turns red and the gulls are nervous
No instinct to comfort them not known before
The water calms to an eerie mirror
Mouths open breathing still, still breathing
We draw on memory of our own innocence
Then smile as that thought nurtures our growth
The colour has gone now its time to dream
Till wakefulness brings another day another breath
