A defiant cry
to the Universe: “I am!”

A defiant cry
to the Universe: “I am!”
No reply required.

A short-lived return,
an episodic foray
into thoughts distant.

Eyes reflect tree lights,
and soon will shine with delight
every Christmas day.

Bobbing side to side,
arms too little to hold fast,
you manage to sit.

The waking world stirs.
Light and sound shift and shudder–
Imprints on my dreams.

Every time your smile
bursts into a little laugh

Fledgling trees sprouted,
different root systems, nearby,
branches intertwined.
Steve D
Throngs of people mill
between store fronts, hoping to
find holiday cheer.
Steve D
Delicious pancakes,
proving my eyes ambitious
and my stomach small.
Steve D
Fluffy maple stack
dotted with blueberries, and
seeped in syrup.
