Rousing the naked inner child
full of mystified forehead kisses
free and stoically wild

In mind's eye flight
lady bugs descend
spin and land
granting home-spun wishes
before fluttering en route again

Beneath one tiny wing
love is carefully tucked under
and carried away
destined for a vibrant resting place
so again the eyes may glint and smile
and the heart can soar forever while.

Thank you Cancer/Scorpio729 and Mirage

I was out joy riding on a golf cart with a friend- she's a wee bit older than I. Anyway a Lady Bug landed on my shirt and she said "Oh my aren't you lucky- Make a wish!" I hadn't heard that wives tale before..but I went ahead and made a wish. Later that night I was thinking about it and thus came this poem. It's often something very simple like that where poems derive and transpire from for me. It's where day and thought concentrare.
