make-believe

i was silly 

a bit like a child 

hoping for flowers 

and a sky with lilac clouds 


what a little girl it was 

that smiled for days 

holding on to all sorts 

of wondrous things 


she escaped in dreams

like adventurous games 

and she skipped about 

stars and moon beams 


she’ll carry them in her pocket 

like shiny rocks only she sees 

and every now and then 

hold them to see them sparkling
