Ah, Children II


The morning tumbles alive

little feet pounding exuberance

in the un"adult"erized world

content with existence before "hungry"

This is the hour in which

birds and cats and dogs

and children reign free

and true to life, unfettered

They have not yet been forced

to bury their dreaming

which still lives in this hour

of the emerging light

In this magic time

is the true freedom of innocence

for which a spent day must die

to thus be resurrected.


- Paul Malécot
