On Warmest Bed of Optimism

Charming and serious, communications between the fairy and dragonfly, compete for a child’s attention. —Poet A rustic sky, out of bound; Humans see ethereally. Teeniest fairy, on sunshine round, children find touchy-feely. On warmest bed of optimism, in her red-pink gown, wings sans sound. She entertains, charms with witticism. Steely-dragonfly’s profound. Supernal what-ifs sifted. Human children understand, for the tiniest while, the world’s gifted. Blue eyes gaze sunflower’s core. Verdant leaves cocoon, sway in breeze. Amidst the seeds, mobile lifted, innocent, before the birds’ and bees’ fluttering lashes shifted.

Through the eyes of a child...why I live in a regular neighborhood, and not some senior community. Rather hear noisy, frolicking children, than ambulances.
