Catching Youth

All about the moment
sugared pansies in the air
falling from their flaxen home
behind your ears and in your hair
All about the minute
that you tumble to the ground
laughing sunshine sparks and colors
that my eyes have rarely found
All about the rhythm 
while you twirl deliberately
purple skirt and sequin swirls
dizzy me so gracefully
All about the morning
grabbing sunshine for a talk
holding every memory
up to your ears, at peace and caught.
