…seeking thru air
reaching, tasting, touching –
exploration…

seeking

…awakening sparks –
full sun timely
she smiles…

sparks

…stealing color –
marrow always
seeps to the surface
holding her apart…

…closer, closer
color shades her life with
Mother Natures palette…

…she liked her hair
red
it kept her warm…

…always the oddball
she huddled closer
trying to fit in…

…did you ever dance
in wonder,
no, in awe
of leaf tears…
