Young Life

 

She dances

And giggles

Because that’s

All she knows.

She can live

Life

Squealing with joy

And smiling

At the little

Things

(Like a nest

Of birds

Or

A green leaf

Right before

Winter ends)

For isn’t that

How life

Is supposed

To be

Lived?

There are

No

Punctuation marks

In her life

Only

Commas

Because nothing

Ever ends

For her

There may be

A pause

(Many pauses

In fact)

But it all

Comes back

Nothing is

Forgotten

Every memory

Is a favorite

Color

She’ll stay

Young forever

Because that’s

Life.

I am being taken on a soulful journey. I am lying with my back on the wings of a giant bird and she takes me soaring high across big white clouds, and for some reason, I don't wish for the journey to come to an ed. That's exactly how I feel about this poem of yours. More like watching the narrator delve both in and out of the lady's life ... so very beautifully.

I love this work. It is so blissfully flowing with the joy of life. I love the idea of life as a run on sentence. LOL Wonderful work.
