bright green light: morning
small voices wake me from dreams
greet me with their grins.

*

a flurry of feet
two hands grasp and drag and reach
toys disappear: clean!

*

fingers find balance,
find pressure and direction,
pull red across page.

*

blue and purple lines
flowers, laser guns, rainbows:
art and story meet.

*

twilight swims in greens
glass dark water, shadowed pines
night finds the lake first.
