She runs;
I stare
at the back her ponytails flickering
in the rush of the wind.
She runs;
I think
that there was a time, too,
when the wide expanse of white sand
was the singular moment in my mind.
She runs;
I chase
her through the dunes and let my red dress
drop free so that I can be a
child again.
I run;
She stares
at my naked form
and laughs as she, too, tugs herself free
and runs even faster.
I am standing in a white desert with a blue sky in a red dress
The child is a mirage running toward a glimpse of her future.
I stand back awaiting my past
Our directions will not meet for miles unless
we find each other in the present desiring the same
red dress
The child has to be set free.
child might fall but after that he/she might rise up and learn a lot more things even the hardest ones by falling and then rising up again.
this only can make the child strong.

why do parents
cloak their children? when
will they see that
the air
the sun
the world
is not to shield the little ones from?
if the warmth is enough for us,
as grown,
why not
for the reaching arms,
the wandering legs,
the hungry skin of
the little ones?
Red Dress. Sand Runner.

Two figures so inspire,
evoke such diverse thoughts,
shared as poetry.
