OH  THE TILLYNESS OF IT ALL

"the sky is an ocean..."
so my child tells me
"...of air!"

and that "birds
are its fishes
swimming in its blue!"

I sit at her feet
as she tells me
how her world is

her mind a great ocean
where thought flies
and words swim like birds

now she sits on my lap
as if I were her
mighty throne

and commands
her words
to speak her mind

then she sings
"Metal guru is it you
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) oh, yeah"

and we both
sing as one
"(Ah-ah-ah-ah) oh, yeah"

My 3 year old was obsessed with this T-Rex song and one could see it playing in her head even when she was quiet and she would suddenly burst out with it and laugh. She was my teacher of how a world could be...a guru to her auld da.
