Pinstripes and Polka Dots

“Everything beautiful has a mark of eternity.”― Simone Weil

“The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it…” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Pinstripes and polka dots
Balloons and ferris wheels
Skipping and hopscotch
Jumping rope and swinging
Cotton candy and ice cream
Laughter and frolic
Evoke delight, that of a child, the one that remains within
Sparked by colors, a kaleidoscope playground
Enter this space and place if only for a bit
The world will remain for you to pick it back on your shoulders again, if you must
But it will look different, a little lighter, fresher
The beauty of just being alive.

“We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment.” – Mary McDonnell
