The Child

the child loved her stilts
she walked on them all summer
raindrops shimmering in the sun

iridescent downpour
the moonlight casting many shadows
the child remembered

the twinkle in her granddad’s eyes
she stepped through the door

stars twinkled 
she looked on the earth forever
the snail on the garden path

a silver trail
hanging down their heads shyly

snowdrops
