Reading Boy
A quiet room
In which to look
A young boy hefts
A curious book
The cover brilliant

Page by page
His imaginations soar
His feet once grounded
Now leave the floor
A new world thrills
His every sense
A book transforms
To magic from hence

Just then, a moment of silence overcame
and in that moment I felt meaning
Yet feared I still the time of its departure
No heed gave he to my lack of faith
A smile was all it took to sooth
A gentle smile, how bold, how pure
Doubt acknowledged defeat
And there I sat [...]

Elevated

Rising slowly, ever slowly
I’m calmed by this steady pace
Growing, ever growing
Illumination taking place
Simple yet elegant
Gentleness with grace
Ignorant of attention
Yet brilliance dawns her face
A meeting
A moment
A victor
A crown
