the delightful smile

caressed her face

as we played hide-n-seek

throughout the space

*

we had no toys

except life between

she three … I sixty-two

riding the imaginary dream

*

she structured the game

for us to play

her sense of fairness

was to be obeyed

*

the thrill of finding me

behind the door

caused her to want to

play some more

*

my lotus for the day

mindfulness carried me to my core

love offered, love received

my spirit soared
