Child Of My Dreams
For my son, Tyler
You are the child of my dreams
whispering to me softly
from the quiet darkness
behind your eyes.
You came into the world shimmering.
Rigged for silent running.
Braced hard against the helm.
Standing tall before the wind.
Physics will determine the course
of life’s many rain drops
crashing in clever cat paw patterns.
Leaving traces of accelerated particles
in your wake.
There is no science
no logical conclusion
no antibiotic for the infections
that wander after you and me.
Feel your sails rush
full bloom into the night?
Those maudlin clouds
no longer cling
to your precious feet.
Brave child of my dreams
take no prisoners in life’s grand game.
Quietly inscribe your enchanted heart
like a simple tattoo
on the shoulder of God.
