Sandbox,
swing set, lawn, and flowers, fills her entire world,
Dot,
nursery, and garden – a beautifully tiny Joyful existence.
This is her
world – unexpandable – until now.
Now she
sinks her toes into the warm sand of Bellows,
And builds a
sand castle fit for the island lizards.
She inhales
sunshine and exhales delight
as the surf kisses and tickles her feet and legs.
The man she
travels with is unaware of her;
He sees the
wife he brought with him, not the child she brings with her.
Sometimes he
is aware that she is different.
“You are off
today,” he says.
“Yes,” she
answers, “but not in a bad way.”
Today beyond
the garden and nursery walls
She
experiences a world full of Joy.
