Ocean Memories
Posted: July 8th, 2009, Author: admin
As the notes take me
I try to remember
The ocean
Mom and Dad stand by me
Deeper we go
Jumping big waves
My parents lifting me up to jump
Dolphin fins out in the horizon
Laughing then
Longing now
For the sea to sweep me
Off the ocean floor
As it did a few years ago
If only I could go back
Into childhood memories
See what I did not savor enough
Be there once more
And I go there
As I fall sound asleep
And my dreams carry me back out to sea
Pursuit
Posted: July 8th, 2009, Author: admin
Her pudgy feet ran through the grass
Sparkling in the morning dew
Her footprints left a trail behind her
Impressions on the cold ground
She ran
Her feet stumbling on unfamiliar territory
She tripped and stumbled to the ground
She rose without hesitation and again began her pursuit
Of the beautiful winged creature
Its wings carried it higher
Faster than her little feet could take her
Yet she ran
Willing herself to go faster
She closed the gap
It was nearly in her reach
She sprung from the ground
A single finger brushing a delicate wing
Then it was off and she hit the ground
It fluttered away
Soaring to the sky
While she stayed grounded
Her face misted
Her knees green
But with a smile forming
She accomplished her goal
She touched the butterfly
