Children’s Songs

-------Children’s Songs-------

Listen.

The songbirds are calling,

the peepers peeping

and from out the darkness

a golden seed emerges.

There is beauty to behold 

inside anything 

that is changing.

And attention 

is a cracking of the shell.

We are not alone

nor lost,

though told we might become

if the world were to let the Earth back in.

But Mama loves,

and reminds us with the children's songs

that everything we could ever need,

is already here

before us.
