She Saw Well Beyond Her Flesh Years

the seeing child 
exotic and special
an old soul

she had a history
unknown to those unenlightened
understood by the others

she saw well beyond her flesh years
the villagers flocked to her
asking for her advice

she was the shaman of their village
at earth age eight
understanding better than most

sharing a soul past
with those who would listen
more often those who were willing to hear

Children are more wise than we give them credit for being; unlike adults, they can fight one minute and be best friends, the next. Well penned.
