Wild Again
Nature’s Child
Tapestries and tattered dreams
Link inked to
Tattooed skin and destinies
Tailored suits with sloppy seams
Hidden secrets underneath
Bloated pride in hand me downs
Paper lace and linen gowns
Promise to forget me nots
Placed in broken flower pots
With dreams to spare
On tailless kites
Games of truth dared
By moonlight
Wishing on stars
That hit the ground
Exposing treasure to be found
Only to belong to someone else
Who chose to believe in magic spells
Renewing faith and fantasy
Setting the dreamer in me
Free
To chase the wind and ride the wild
Like nature’s favorite rebel child
