Children

paint the sun
peeking in the upper corner
rays resplendent
“make your day”!

Houses have a chimney
since warmth is
elementary.

Brushes tip-!toe
paper curls
color double-dutch-es
‘cross the page!

Finger paints
go in the mouth
slide o’er tongue
to tummy!

A Feast of Paint to you and you!

TELLING TIME

tick-tock click clock

Introduced the “clock-man” to my 4 year old:
Little hand, big hand, forward move: one, two, three.
Time passes on the clock, on the calendar too
But touchstones stay the same for you and me.

Little hand, big hand, forward move: one, two, three.
Tick-tock, click-clock arrows speed to lead
Us to the dreams we paint: the hopes, the deeds.

Time passes on the clock; on the calendar too
Weeks, to months, to years, to lives…
Then on to memories worn on our hides, insides, tribes.

But touchstones stay the same for you and me.
The elders molt to spirits; the new reach for our care
Our nostrils scent the musk of need and nurture everywhere.
