Ella

nature’s child
wildly wise
awoke and opened ancient joyful eyes
danced down from heaven
trailing fireworks cross the sky
bright soul shine ten thousand fireflies
ella
lucky child
born of love
sunlight on water dancing
write our names on the wind
turning cartwheels on the sand
castiing shadows on the sun
weaving blankets of light
digging secret gardens
ella
lucky child
born of love
sunlight on water dancing
write our names on the wind
in the woods
on a winter afternoon
see your stained glass heart shining
adorned in colors of the western sky
seen through bare crossing branches high
cathedrals blossoming of stone
mountains of granite bloom eternal flowers
in stem and petal lotus and fern
trace your gypsy footsteps home
ella
lucky child
born of love
sunlight on water dancing
write our names on the wind
to those not yet here
to all who have been
offer these hands
for you to begin again
give to her
she give back ten times to you
may we always be together
