A child walks beside itself

Drinking in the life

All the dreams,

The lessons,

The love and the strife.

Fixed upon the window sill

As time goes drifting by

Sits the blueprint of a shadow,

A whimper,  a cry.

Lost among the darkness

Of a shadow for its life

Cries the heart of a child

Pinned up against a knife.

Frightened by the shadow

That sits beside the light

The child sits in anguish

Held captive, by the night.

Who will save this precious heart

Who will lead the way

Out among the open doors

Where the sun beckons souls to play.

When self  embraces  its only child

Whimpering cold with fright

The world grows warm and loving

The blueprint in plain sight.

Lost no more will be the child

Who has found the inner light

glowing warm from above

Connected  to the  kite .
