Guinevere's Moment

While I am young,
I'm obliged to pursue simple pleasures.

... fiddling with Mother's hair pins ...
... wearing my nightdress with Sunday's shoes...
... hiding pebbles in my palms ...

As I grow,
I am learning quickly ...
Alas, you slowly forget ...

You've forgotten the magic of trickling water,
from roof top,
from tree limb,
from faucet.

I've just found it.

You are folding laundry, planning for tomorrow.
I am touching magic water, enjoying this moment.

I am almost two years old.
