Air Lilies

from a solid rock burst open like a watermelon
gushing out life-giving red and seed from within
joyful song overflows like a waterfall
the young spirit springs and whirlpools

floating away like a hot air balloon
setting on the fluff of clouds at noon
of colourful hues like chocolaty smarties
on heart shaped tattoos and sweet cookies 

cool spray carved off smooth rock
summer breezes from the tongue of a frog 
the aero-trains threw open the imagination
as submarines propelled the ocean to endless navigation

at play as children grew minds like air lilies
wide-eyed natural beauty of wild flowers
bubbling with smiles of wonder like big windows 
sunshine in a pot of gold like the birth of a rainbow
