Kit Kelen #1336 - when I was little

1336

when I was little

the house was big

the garden, the cubby

the universe was of unknown extent

didn’t have a name

time took forever in it

I’d come such a little way

light fed me

and first words – your face

yet to stretch

even the truth

was sunk in a softness

and had been cradled

I saw the sunbeam strewn with worlds

and came to a dizzy tune

heart beat home

everyone ached to be older then

and able to…

I had no fear words wouldn’t come

I know it is all around me

love and the world are one

roll off and ask

how was it for you?

then I was a teddy bear at the picnic

you still say I’ll do
