This is written for the " legos nursery rhymes contest" sponsored by Eve Roper. My poem is about dyslexia and how an individual with dyslexia finds comfort and confidence through lego. Dyslexia is a language learning disability, where individuals find letters and numbers difficult to read and write but are very creative and intelligent souls. I want to dedicate this to my friend subha a strong mother that taught and helped her dyslexic son find light beyond the challenges. He too found comfort through lego when growing up.
When stars ascend and illuminate moonlight,
he sits in the midst of childhood confusion,
bricks in ruby quartz, shape pearl-face of twilight,
crafting a castle from artistic vision
where secrets of his heart have unlocked windows;
letters and numbers, no longer mere shadows,
architecting comfort through mini figures
that masquerade ticking truth of lonely hours.
Dyslexic mind moulds an armored foundation,
lego became his true salvation through strife;
reflections of kismet, contrived with passion-
gilded courage framing the frailties of life,
tiny fingers breathe hope through rainbow colors,
whilst imagination carves profound pillars,
stacking the slanted canvas of dreams to rise,
as his strength towers beyond bluest of skies.
