This new poem was written by Paul this Christmas Eve.  - poetheart 12/24/02

The most delicate afternoon
In an orchard with little boys and girls
Running around
Picking the newly ripened fruit.

The little girl with the white bonnet
Running merrily around the fields
With white streamers effortlessly
Making circles and paths in the air.

Marigolds tickling her feet and
Blue jays following right behind
Rabbits, clever and docile
The deer shamelessly in view

Smiles sparkling in sunlight
And carefree radiance emanating.
The sun perched from the sky by a
Wispy light cloud making its way
Across the late spring day.

Boundaries so distant
Non existent
Carefree laughter and little thought
About anything

The days go on as the children continue
Throughout the orchard…
They’re always there even if we can’t see them.
Perfection and beauty is always around us
