··For Mikayla··

Her eyes

sparkle in the morning's light

and she dances

with no fear

on the moon.

She flies amidst her stars

healing scars, mending wounds,

and healing hearts.

Her pencil graces the paper

and her songs float up to the clouds,

making angels dance,

making smiles out of frowns.

She weaves joy

out of flowers,

she weaves strength

out of pain, and

she weaves the morning's light

out of the falling rain.

Her smiles hold the secrets of a thousand

never to be told

never to be spoken.

Her songs speak the tears

of the lost souls of the world,

and her art speaks the laughter

from a thousand dancing dreams.

Her stories tell the lives

of the dragons in the meadows,

and her jokes bring a smile

to the saddest fellows.

She speaks the words of the universe,

clear, untinted,

and when the sun rises,

she repeats, undented,

waiting for the spark, the push,

to rise up into the sky.

Her essence will never die.

Her soul can never be long broken

and truer words have never been spoken.

and nobody should ever tell you different.
