Evening's Tapestry

The arms of sky's tapestry
embraces my childlike wanderings
from a time I hardly remember
when I played without restraint.
Her murmurs have hummed
with every rhythm taken,
a melody one of eternal pleasure.

I continue to scan life's grandeur
swooping through a time tunnel
and chasing midsummer leaves.
And through it all,
I am in awe of  her brilliant presence
that bouncy trail of simplicity
mirroring my youth's enthusiasm.

On my own hour with her,
my night sky and I chase dragonflies
while a fresh rainbow paints the landscape
with kites of shimmering gaiety
to continually imbue and enrich
my inner child through her tapestry.
