To a whole new world, the light of my first Spring,

I wake up from my cozy, warm den of ten months,

having fallen asleep to my mother’s steady heartbeat and peaceful breath

Alongside the blossoming blooms, I unlatched my petals.

The breeze swept my baby face,

carrying a fresh and happy beginning

 

Look up there! A butterfly!

My little legs pumping as fast as a twirling pinwheel under the sky

Unburdened, carefree, with a big world waiting for a child’s wide eye

Free like the wings of chirping birds, discoveries hiding around every bend,

the wind greeting me like an old friend

 

The world is growing, but shrinking at the same time,

as I mature along with the fiery leaves in the air mime

Day and night are perfectly split in the equinox,

The charm of Autumn is in its balance

My constraints and struggles,

my freedom and snuggles

I found improper is not only limited to fractions,

but I also found Prime is rife,

both in numbers and in the moments of life

I’m interested in the subjects I learn at school, covering the nucleus, cytoplasm,and photosynthesis,

but I still like Harry Potter, apple pie, and pumpkins

 

Flakes dancing outside halcyon winters by the fireplace,

I wonder what awaits me under this pure wonderland maze

Riding my sleds past fairy tales of chimneys and the North Pole,

dreaming beyond hot chocolate with marshmallow

Skiing down the huge surge of change

Oh, how far I will be

How far I will go

Over the hills and mountains of snow
