The Lonely Child

The lonely child, standing

Wide eyed-cautious

Taking in the world

Standing so tall-

So innocent, so calm

With eyes of coal-

bright wondrous light

But alone…..

What does this child have to tell?

Answers will come without fail

The power structure of this village

The ancient calling of this child

Why do you give to me

this glimpse of you ?---

Are you there?

Holding the answers for me-

Breath I feel

Your heart beats strong

Wide eyed and innocent

Are you still there?
