In the world

where toys are words

and play

is language

little children

are wise, old,

grace filled

angel-sages

with wide-open,

generous minds

that are as wholehearted,

far, and deep

as the ocean

(with its heaps

and oodles

of water)

whose steadying

presence

is love feeling itself

so that we may all

be possible

for one another.
