Emergence

By: Heather Nanni

Where are you child?

Where is that mind

that wanders into the wild

to places we cannot find?

Reflected in your eyes

are worlds of wonder and light.

Like the sun, they rise

from life’s perpetual night.

And here you sit

your secrets untold.

But, my love, wait a bit.

Your magic will unfold.

As the clock ticks and hours pass

know that your time is not theirs.

And as others march forward into their past

you will emerge-beautiful, radiant and complete.
