I've watched you from a distance. <br /> <br />There's a child I can see in back of your eyes. <br /> <br />She's always clad in calico and rubber band clasped <br />pig tails. <br /> <br />She has lace socks that long ago lost their pink ribbons. <br /> <br />I envy your innocence. <br /> <br />She has an airy holding place where breathing is easy. <br /> <br />I, like the Arcadian god Pan watch patiently. <br /> <br />I play my shepherds' song and wait for frenzied love. <br /> <br />It will overturn reason and entice you forth <br /> <br />across the boundary.<br /><br />michele kostelnik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/boundaries-2/
