Innocence’s Playground

Innocence’s Playground
In blissful abandonment she treads lightly upon the soft sand
Joy personified in the small form of innocence grasping technology safely to her breast.
She studies words scrawled painstakingly by someone who has passed on their way
Lover’s comments which she yet doesn’t grasp the meaning of.
A child of the 21st century she recorded on her iPad
What she sees.
The things in this place of nature’s beauty easy to find
Freedom of golden sand dewy with sea spray kisses and recent rain
Castles with high turrets built to a design that only she knows as she diligently builds motes flooded with imaginary swell.
Protecting a fairytale princess and her prince charming from their enemies.
Her dog watching from the grassy rocks
He knows intuitively not to scamper through the creation of her dreams.
Until summoned by clear sing-song command to come and chase swooping seagulls
She laughs circles runs arms outstretched
Embracing the freedom of the holidays
