Nikomis by Shelby Larkin

Nikomis Shelby Larkin Your smile sung out to sunshine& carried it across ages& every sunny day has a piece of you in it
I think of you when a butterfly lands gently on a Black Eyed Susan Or a humming bird shimmers through the air
I think of you when a warm breeze touches the tree tops & they dance, glittering like emeraldsI think of you when childhood ease whispers gently against my soul
I think of giggling through trails in the forest& you showing me the magic that’s always there
I think of dancing naked in the sunshine because no one was there to see & the freedom you placed right in the heart of me
I think of you when the powwow drums beats& my heart cries out to dance
You gave me those things before you left& I’ll always think of that
