Solo mind and body
Cows munching
Wind resisting me
Fast, tan legs
Conscious breath
Rollers to play on
Sunshine all over
Silky road
Little cars
Sunflower smiles
Dodging grasshoppers
Deep, brown cattails
Horse tails sweeping in the wind
Birds flying overhead
Leaves blowing
River flowing
A tailwind to sail me home
Electric sky
Raindrop in my eye

Last night, my son Devin handed me some acrostic poems he wrote. Although his math skills are challenged, I’m floored and adored by these words. His spirit is light, his heart big and wide, and that’s what matters most. Enjoy these words from a soul with only 11 years of life:
Small and smart
Yearning for a meaning
Made for a marking
Branded for a definition
Oiled for history
Learning its self
Wonderingly, Self Explanatory, Symbol
One or more lines fit perfectly together,
Reading thousands at a time,
Doing its job explaining the world
Slithering, moving mass of power,
Not scared of anything,
Always alert,
Kind and gentle,
Earning the trust of millions
Love on your kids, read what they write, look into their eyes, see their spirit…

Blow me away from the desert
To distant lands
far, far away
land of the free
where I can be
what I’m made of
so I can see…
fern leaves unfurling, dew dripping
rays of sun poking through holes of mighty, elephant ear plants
spiders posed on their silky webs
drenched by the sticky air
soil rich with bugs, thriving and expanding in their home
pliable nature beaming with pride
drinking in the moisture… every breath, every pore
hugged by lush, dense foliage
the sweet scent of herbal energy alive with vigor
surrounded by panoramic waters rippling with the wind
immersed in the blooming moment
beckoning me to fly with it all…
