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
