Do you remember your magic?
Child of nature,
Child of moonbeams,
Child of gods and goddesses old and new
Did you misplace your open-mouthed delight?
Joyous squeals at the bright blaze of dragonfly wings
Enraptured awe of spider spinning her silk
Unabashed glee at puddles made for bare feet
When, where, did you tuck your wonder away?
Who said that it’s better to walk than leap?
To sit than skip?
To run for miles not marvels?
That may have been their way
You get to carve a different path
Stepping off concrete into warm, rain-soaked soil
Your soles remember what your heart knows so well
Each step more sure
Moving forward as you retrieve what was yours long ago
What is yours still
Look, there, under that weathered rock!
Next to the mushroom an enchanted world awaits
Beetles and caterpillars stir awake your smile
Ticked by friendly ferns, by sweetgrass blades
One bright yellow wildflower offers dew to quench your thirst
You drink, watching a bumblebee sip nectar from the next
Not separate, just as thirsty, just as wild
You are a child of magic - it is yours
It’s here
It never left you, Magic Child
