to float down the river on.

ideas.
in my little front yard
mama and papa rabbit
stand guard
ever watchful
waiting for babies
to hop out of the nest
and
head out into the world
all on their own
excited
full of curiosity
and
fresh ideas.

you get a couple and learn how to handle them,

climbing.
unlocked the door
with the secret key
climbed way up high
into the secret tower
with
the kinders
up and up and up
the
spiral staircase
with
stone walls
tiny windows
brave hearts
and
a wondrous view from the top.
—
“a well-ordered life is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up is better than the view from the base,
and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.”
