Seven Springs in Seven Songs, for Leo (excerpts)

Canto I

You can climb that Tree, sweet angel, my son;

Reach the puffy dancey face and hold her!

Who cares if people say you can't eat Clouds?

Canto II  Cloud Sandwiches

Cloud sandwiches taste divinely sweeter

layered in ribbons of Cerulean Summer

Toasted to warm in celestine yellow Light.

NewBorn giddy green, aglow upon your plate,

Smiles up in your eyes, as trees, reflected, do.
At seven, you know the deep love of her smiles;
Hold tight my hand; we'll visit Seven Springs
