Skip with the heedless step of a child Run and jump and tumble Down to the water’s edge. The slow walk of those behind you Stems from concern you don’t yet know. Rush up to the breaking wave And scamper back unharmed. Laugh with glee as you don’t yet know How easily you can be caught. Stretch out your arms and dash in the wind Roll in the sand till you’re dizzy and stop. While we try to look ahead, wondering Will your children be so carefree Will their world be still as whole. |
