At birth the ephemeral unconsciousness
childhood lays like a seed pod
in silence as they converse with the angels.
Though their speech is fragmentary,
little giggles rise and burst like bubbles
as they begin to blossom into their own true self.
The beautiful bewilderment
on each red, blissful face
is soon to be marked by life
in many frightening ways.
Still they stare with little heads cocked
then leap into life’s icy waters without flinching.
Filled with love and roused to the fullest,
they set off like a flash of lightening,
bright as shallow water reflecting
the stars and moon above.
