Just a few
steps from here to there
A little
walk to the chain of defense
The iron wrinkle
The rusted snake
Lets step
beyond the line
Into one
world –
Mine and
yours
With the
others who belong
It’s enough
dirt and gunpowder
It’s enough
blood and sick power
It’s enough
loss and caution
Enough lost
bargains and foul traps
Lets step
beyond the line
Into one
world –
Mine and
yours
With the
others who belong
We’ll play
together in your home
I’ll cook you
a meal in my attic
Forget the
past, lets stop the fights
Lets pray
together, lets just smile
Lets step
beyond the line
Into one
world –
Mine and
yours
With the
others who belong
– Vaishali

DeleteThe world of small children is a very trusting one... I love watching their excitement and creativity. Yes, I am lucky to still be able to "step beyond"
ReplyDeleteIt is! There is nothing imprinted on their minds and so, their creativity knows no bounds. :)
