There was something special about this space Like the walls spoke a language The eves telling little secrets of comfort Making this empty space feel more like home Than that cramped apartment
Backyard wonderland like a child I felt like butterflies and fairies could Jump and flitter between leaves Or goblins hobbling To dance magic dance The winking of mismatched eyes Charming me out to play
Or possibly it was the dusty smell of closets The socks stealing gnomes Creeping around plain sight Stashing keys and pony tails
Something made my weirdness welcome My childish heart Bloomed brilliantly As if this space had waited Stuck on some barrier between reality To take me back And make this old soul New
