Still Only Six But never Still.

Still Only Six...But Never Still.
Just a split
second of time,
joyfully delighting
in the rain-
Full of youthful
exuberance, in
one precious chapter
of perfection
Written in flesh,
indexed between
infancy and adulthood.
Nothing to worry about
but catching the next
raindrop on your hungry tongue,
what you're gonna play next,
and the tantalizing taboo
of just getting wet.
The next time this
image will appear
to you outside of now
will be years later
when you are 88,
and your mind wanders back,
to that spring day
when all the world
lay before you
to explore.
Cherish this moment;
they pass far too soon,
and become encumbered
with umbrellas, fragile hairstyles
and endless schedules to meet.
Dance on bare feet,
across Mother Nature's
downy green carpet,
and let your life
be an embrace.
