simplicity

simplicity

children wave
at people on trains,
because they know
there’s no harm
in waving.
in saving the day,
from the way
away from harmony.

children chase birds,
because the know
the beauty in uncertainty,
and because they remember,
what it feels like
to imagine you can fly.

children speak
from the heart,
because they know
it breathes,
with truth and with light.

children,
inside each of us,
like an unopened gift
we have forgotten
to remember.

the heart knows
the child we once were,
and will be again.

bright, bold
and beautiful.
