A child discovering
what one day
will be old
Guided by instinct
connected to
future self
Mislabeled as
naive but
in reality
Holding keys
Unlocking secrets
Knowing the unseen
Senses keen like
a cat landing
on his feet
Adults need help
Imagination lost
Wonder less
Settling for routines
that don’t include
their dreams

Wow – that last stanza… Yup.

Thanks. I have so much more respect for children. They get it.
