Haiku 2
Sheets of paper Like once adored petals Blanket the ground
Sheets of paper Like once adored petals Blanket the ground
Plastic dino Pressed against a soft cheek Protecting dreams
Soft mochi cheeks Pressed with silly kisses Gift sounds of joy
A tiny appleseed thrown into the compost was meant to be grown into a tree One of us did not forget
Naptime is a mountain of climbing stairs checking in finding friends reading stories, again getting into bed, and arranging things just so an interrupted song a sweet cuddle
And at the top, you forgot was there, one last drink of water
Until finally, rolling softly down the other side, a sweet whisper in your ear
