The little boy

Running through the trees and
into a meadow
the little boy
stops to stare at the flowers
and wondering how something so
pretty can be so tiny...
Birds flying by see him and
sing a song that makes him smile
he follows them at a small run..
before fading off into the distance
he stops and turns around
to face the meadow he passed
thru,...
the birds song calls to him
he smiles
and turns to follow them.

tiny
no smile
no tears
no voice

hands
folded
as if in a prayer
