Who is this child?
Smile, dear!
Furrowed brow.
Velvet eyes,
Pillow cheeks,
Rosy dyes—
Silent witness, lost in thought.
Eyes in neutral, betraying naught.
Who is this child?
Smile, dear!
Gingham frock,
Palest green,
Daisy pockets,
Earthly queen—
Silk-smooth hands, heavenly wrought,
Life's anvil forge imminent brought.
Who is this child?
Smile, dear!
Anklets white,
Sinews lean,
Latent will,
Slate so clean—
Innocence stands, poised and taut,
Limbo-bound, betraying naught.
Smile, dear,
For I am here!
Wrinkled eyes,
Plenitude seen,
One cheek turned,
Insights keen—
Soul's ingress, oracles sought.
Diaphanous reflections caught.
Smile, dear,
For I am here!
Ebony draped,
Blue veins singed,
Mother earth,
Ruby-ringed—
Ambidextrous, wrung distraught,
Caressing kiss, suppliant brought.
Smile, dear,
For I am here!
Quiddity,
Standing tall,
Sentinel
To love's true call—
Golden willow, joyous, fraught,
Heart-searching, this terrestr'l court.
Smile, dear!
For we are here—
Hand in hand,
Sweet destiny,
Life spirals
Transmigrat'ry—
Forever bound eternally,
Immutable synchrony.
