My Magic

CHAPTER 6

The Wind Sunbathes

 

"Dancing" flowers throughout Central Park

where there

everywhere seems summer to me...

and where Central Park's everywhere flowers seem

everywhere where summer should be

 

Kaze “the Wind” June 15, 2014 46 days old

 

Sora “the Sky” June 15, 2014 43 days old

 

Can you imagine a place

where flowers dance?

 

and clovers…

are magic?

 

Can you imagine a place

where the sky can sit in a tree

and where the wind can lie down in the sun

 

Can you imagine…?

 

Imagine us all

among an oak now twice as tall

and only 1/2 as small as it was

when eyasses were born and

 

6 weeks old

Sora’s not so far above us all

yet!

 

Yet, to reach his kisses above all of us

from C L O U D S now closer branch by branch

Sora learns from Kaze…

 

little brother from B I G sister

 

And Kaze learns from mom

 

And all of them above all of us

And all of us among them all

will be part of magic

 

Kaze & Mom

Imagine…

 

Kaze drops her lunch box among people and picnics

 in our meadow for sheep…

 

and only, “I’m sorry…I’m so, So, SO sorry!”

can be the apology to recover lunch dropped from a tree

for you see…

(as it goes)…

a good apology goes far

and, “I’m sorry!” goes further (by far!) to make magic for mom

no matter from sky, or from wind,

or from anywhere from…

 

Little Girl Playing

“5,6,7,8,9,10, Ready or not…Here I come!”

 

And we played in a glade

by far and away neither far, nor away

from where the sun on the earth, and shadows on grass

were but magic in a meadow for Urban Hawks class

to begin!

 

Meet our professor: Mom PHD

in meadow for sheep Urban Hawkology!

 

Ah! The tests in this class are quite easy to pass

So! Let’s look for shadows and light and earth in a glade;

under sky, within wind in our front and backyard

whether L A R G E or small…

 

It’s so simple for all of us;

(all of our L A R G E and quite all of our small)

simply to see and so maybe to “look”

and so, So, SO easy to pass

‘cause there’s nothing to quite study in books

(not at all!)

 

Our meadow is magic for urban hawks class!

 

Kaze’s class is now in session!

 

Kaze’s very first time she’s felt the earth!

As Sora calls to Kaze

we call to each other

 

and we and they

and they and us

and us and them altogether

were together!

 

Kaze & Sora will talk to each other

like any good sister to any good brother

concern for each other as lessons are learned

leads to listening to us

as we smiled in a meadow for sheep…

 

smiles

and dreams

and C L O U D S and kisses…

 

Big sister to little brother…

 

And as Kaze learned

and Sora listened

we lived

in our meadow for sheep

neither large, nor small…

 

yet, big enough for all (of us!)

 

Can you imagine that time in your life

when wherever you just happened to be

just happened to be perfectly where you wanted to be…

 

and you wouldn’t have traded where you were

with where you weren’t no matter if where you weren’t was here,

or there, or anywhere…

 

Can you imagine…

 

Imagine now nowhere else is as good as where you are right here, right now!

 

Now are the days in our meadow for sheep

where all of our children, free, like the wind

snuggling the grass between their sweet sleep…

will grow up in the sun…

 

and learn how to play, how to laugh, how to run

where shadows soothe, caressed by the sun’s

precious magic

 all children grow up,

it’s true…

 

and in our own front and backyards,

 (like Kaze’s sheep meadow)

the magic will be in these moments: these times to just simply

to “be”

 

together

 

Little Girl Playing

“7,8,9,10, Ready or not…Here we come!”

 

One day, Sora…

soon; so close…

remember: Ladies before Gentlemen

 

And now, let’s us all imagine

when we felt like Kaze…

like we were about to do something wonderful!

 

(Kaze remembers…)

3 weeks old and falling in nest

4 weeks old trying to flap her wings in the wind

5 weeks old when she could only jump into the wind

without wings catching the wind

 

Let’s never lose that feeling

we can do anything

we can imagine!

 

Kaze’s new home is her forest for elms

Kaze takes her first flight ever from whisper-thin feet off the ground, out of her tree,

across her glade

into her forest for elms

 

Can you imagine!
