1. At the Window
Light-bedazzled little girl
fairy-like
perched before the window sill
mommy-like,
mimicking the ritual.
Helping hands as time stands still,
in spite
of how quickly she'll be gone ~
and there will be many more windows
to look out upon.
Frozen so, in the white light:
That little girl
(forever mine),
growing up
at the window.
2. Windows
Brilliant white light
streaming in ~
The world outside,
the world
within.
We are all reaching
or
standing still,
some may backwards tread.
But I am one
who prefers to reach
and believe in
Light
instead.
* Inspired by a friend's daughter: Hazel, age 4 ~ cheerfully helping her mommy clean house
