For Nadia

Patrick Hurley

Your eyes
looking up, into mine
I tickle your tummy and kiss
your feet
Smiles, deeper than any ocean
pull joy out of my dark
shadows
Sparking a light within the void
that holds the ankles of my soul
down
And you, face a glow with the
mystery of life and the energy
of discovery
Giggling at the raw simplicity
of peak-a-boo
Soon, this world will dull the shine
rob the light
Hold that ember tight, warm your
spirit against the cold to come
we celebrate and welcome you
