Cicely

you walked into my world
wearing a cast 
warm witty greeting
my third grade class
joseph medill school
nineteen hundred seventy one
the movie sounder debut
down town chicago
sensitive timid and shy was i
you were a rainbow
quite noble to my eye
a spoken chalice my heart ran
my soul escaped it seems 
landing right into 
my future hopes 
my future dreams
ah as i awakened 
wise and free 
you were within 
the wonder of me
