this life was just
a stepping stone
one her way to bigger dreams
her grip upon time
was lose
as the future
lay in
her palm
focused solely
on the hope
that she was
going far,
her eyes fixed,
on the horizon
and her heart painted
in the stars
but darling,
she couldn't
have told me
all the colors in
a smile,
as she never
laid her
head down
to rest
for awhile.
baby girl
when you
grow older,
know the
colors of
this world
show me the
red of anger
and the
vibrant hues
of joy.
spend a lifetime
gazing at the earth
beneath your feet,
you'll find little
pieces of heaven
between,
grass blades
of the present.
the rhyming is kinda all over the place but it the only piece that has escaped from the prison of writers block.
