Child of wild flowers

Father and daughter. Who teaches whom?

Child of wild flowers
________________________________________________

You dance in my footstep, child of wild flowers
Your little feet firmly over mine
There are dewdrops in your soft eyes
Moon shadows streak your flowing hair
As you walk on flashing sunbeams
Your path scattered with petals of rose.
You are my breath as I am yours
Your picture in poems, my poem in pictures,
O child of the emerald bowers.

You laugh and slip-slide
Down double rainbows and glide
Splash and surf on the crest
Of wild ocean waves.
I am your teacher and your friend
Your seed, pollen and golden grain.
But it is you who shows me the light
Mother of stars, daughter of the night
You give me your sunbeams
Your rainbows, touch me with starlight.

Together we touch the desert moon
As a million crickets sing in tune.
Together in peace we dream and sing,
‘Dream a little dream’.
