Hand in hand they run
Grass above their heads
Lost in a world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy
Summer heat hangs thick
Sweat clings hair to her face
Sweat clings a shirt to his back
Cicadas chirp and butterflies flutter
Still lost in the world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy
Under an oak tree they sit
Gasping for air that eludes them
A lollipop is revealed from his pocket
A smile dances on her lips
They take turns enjoying the taste
Sharing lollipop kisses
Forever lost in the world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy
until the weary world weaves dreams from dust
we'll need to trust the child in each of us
to gather as much magic as we can find
in a simple kiss outside of time
Submission Name: Lollipop Kisses
