Blazing Her Own Trail
Her spirit rises from within
She sees the world as it should be
and sets her course accordingly
An old soul in a young girl’s skin
with steadfast gaze, new trails to blaze
a fiery storm behind sweet grin
…and so begins her odyssey
her spirit rising from within.

Oh Captain, My Captain…
The tiny helmsman takes control—
determined, never showing fear
committed, steadfast in her role.
The tiny helmsman takes control
though course ahead remains unclear
she pushes past the rocky shoals.
This tiny helmsman in control;
determined, never showing fear.

Tiny Pirate
Softly ceding to the night
the sun has sung itself to sleep,
while moon awakens with delight.
The fairies dance in waning light
as banshees beat a fast retreat
receding swiftly into night.
One by one the stars shine bright
across the dark expanse they sweep
as moon expresses her delight!
The sea monsters have taken flight,
again returning to the deep—
swift now ceding to the night.
The will o’ the wisps and woodland sprites
into the foggy meadows creep;
the moon observes them with delight.
Illuminated by pale light
lies tiny pirate, fast asleep;
so soft receding into night—
the moon enrapt with pure delight.

I am totally enamored by this feisty and formidable little redhead! We recently spent a weekend in Maine with her and her grandparents where she and I spent a morning trying to "escape the sea monsters" and when that didn't seem to work we fed them "ice cream and cookies!!" These 3 pieces are inspired by her personality and her very active imagination. Such fun we had!!
For Kersie with love.
