Teach Me



Today's muse: No specific muse today...

* * *


Teach Me

Teach me little one.
Take my hand and
show me how to
laugh and play.

Teach me to be royalty.
To dine like a princess—
eat imaginary fancy treats and
sip invisible tea from
chipped plastic cups.

Teach me your ways.
I want to learn
how to ride a dragon,
catch fairies in my palm,
and know that when I wish…
the stars will listen.

Teach me to remember.
I have forgotten how to
see with my heart and
listen with my soul.
I have let myself
grow up.

  2. If only we could somehow be two ends of the same candle...but it really isn't possible. Most times I think stars dim with the cloak of responsibility, which gathers cloth as we age. But the sun shines brighter, gathering brilliance until the burst before we go. I do wish I could have it all though.
