searching space between children
as they run and play outside
eyes bright, laughter palpable
shorts and tops move with them
small feet seeming not
to touch the ground
memory senses a young girl
brown skinned with dark brown curls
touching her shoulders and face
as play becomes life
in the California sun
if I look close enough
i see her dimly in the space
between the children at play
waving her hand boldly
she beckons to me
to come home once again
