​
I saw a kid running through a field
stop
to pick daisies
And run back to their mother shouting
"Look what I found!
This is for you!"
I wanted to stop that child and ask them if they knew they had the stars in their eyes
flight in their steps
and an ability to bring out the beauty in this world
When I was that kid's age, I wouldn't have understood what those words meant
and if you told them to me today, I wouldn’t believe you
but I think there is something profound in the wonder
and simplicity
and curiosity
and honest kindness
of a child
Some days my heart beats out of my chest
and I find it hard to feel
the days turn cold around the edges
Some days I am one with this world
and my eyes see only beauty
and balance and calmness.
It's breathtaking
The day I saw the child was a day like that
it was sincere and gorgeous
it was a dream
