Grown Up Child
There between thoughts
sat the child
leaning and moving
to the beat of moving toward the grow up door
Days come
and days go
and this child speaks out
what does it feel like to play with
the adult inside
walking in circles
with worries and reflections
does the child protect the circles,
open the doors of love
to lead a crying spirit~
an adult spirit
along the play ground
fields
to feel the play
O' so long ago
experienced
Does the child sing the song
for the adult
to dance to the tune
to open pleasurable windows
to feel
to experience
from the child
of long ago
the shadow of
adult now standing
to the beat of the
grow up child~
