My Little Heaven
I wonder...
If I could live poetically...
For one day only..
Just 24 hours..
What would I do?..
Didn't take much thought actually...
I would become neurologically altered so that
My speech will falter bringing me that
Much closer to my beautiful daughter...
In her world of autism....
Where I would give up the norm and
Embrace a new form of talking...walking with her
As she TAKES me by the hand helping me to
Innerstand the more grand plans beyond this land
Let her do the teaching
And I'll do the seeking
The reaching out
Stripped of my intellectual clout as
My views begin to crumble making me humble
As I trip and stumble over new learning curves
Laughing at myself as I see I'm getting on her nerves....
KEEP UP OLD MAN!
So I follow along in her path as she 'speaks' to me in
The language of math...I just love the way she laughs as she
Break down equations and abbreviations with ease funny
How I 'see' now My brain no longer on freeze....
And it was simple child's play...something she would do all day...
I feel myself start to sway...
You ok daddy?...she asks
Yes baby...I reply
Be steady...We haven't got much time
And there's more for me to show you...
Now she shows me the artistry of her INNER verse
As we disperse with gravity and skip upon rainbows
Mental mosaics would then simultaneously begin to glow as
Scribes from far away tribes unroll before us in scrolls of...
Mercury?
Certainly impossible?!!!
NOT!!!
Daddy get that KNOT out of your brain
Don't strain...remain calm....
Feel the FORCE seeping through my palm.....
My senses relax as cerebral fences retract
She looks me over then speaks with a certain tact...
Daddy...I live in a nexus
Between space and time...which is marked by
Rhythms and paradigms, heartbeats and SUN rises
....But your kind is too blind
Bonded and obsessed with the physical...
Suppressing mystical FREEquencies....
Which is the same as science but your race
Frequently courts too much violence....
Daddy I want to help you
But after today you gotta tune into
Your higher sense okay?........
So it's a new day now
It's an old ME
With a new EYE
For EYE look at the ESSENCE of me
And old words take on new meanings
For I have always from birth
Claimed her to be My little Heaven.....
And now she has given me
The TRUTH to carry such words....
Yes...
If I could LIVE this poetically...
For one day only
I'd do it in a heartbeat...

Wow... What does one say to a piece like this.If this is a true life story I acquired new heights of respect for you, if not, still; you bring these topic that forces us to review our humanity. Love does not need a language, text or form it is a force felt by all. Powerfully deep piece.

You have touched me with this poem. I believe that you do have an insight into her universe. And I believe she knows it. This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read.

My Goodness, Naajir! Let me just say that this ink gave US a beautiful glimpse inside of your personal world with your little angel and I'm truly honored that you shared this.
I've worked in the field of autism for over 13 years and THIS needs to be an inspirational page in every pamphlet for parents who have a little heaven of their own. I too have a son, (young man now):) who has challenges, and reading your poem took me back in the days of his youth. Reminded me of every little thing he did, held such gentle pieces of HOPE, thus becoming my motivation for so many things in my life.
I relived those sweet memories reading this!
Thank You! Xoxo

Such beautiful words and in the eyes
of a child...and sometimes we as adults
become the students, and the child becomes
the teacher:)

children are teachers as we adults become more stained by our alleged knowledge and more cynical towards wonderment ...thank you for sharing your profound insight...

My work and my passion is helping children communicate.....you have clearly mastered the art of communicating LOVE. Such tender, insightful ink.
Best wishes to you and your Heaven. I hope she is still teaching and you are still learning.

You just took me back in time 30 years to hang out again with a young man named Shane. We were buds for a summer at the school for kids with disabilities my foster mom worked for. He was their "problem child" but he and I got along just fine, he'd speak to me in a language of prime numbers while I pushed him on the swings and sang him Beatles songs. I don't know what he was describing to me, but I think maybe it was a bit of what you've written here.
I'll never forget how his mom cried the day I mentioned that he talked to me, apparently people thought she was lying or crazy because he didn't talk to anyone else.
I was only with them for that one summer so I never saw Shane again but I think about him from time to time and now you've given me much lovelier world to imagine him inhabiting.

I could talk about the writing, the wonderful phrasings, use of rhythm and rhyme, because you've got it all here. But, more importantly, all of that comes together in a huge swell of overwhelming love that has me wiping my eyes because it had to get out somehow. This is absolutely beautiful.

This was no accident that I came upon this piece. I am truly at a loss. Your ability to maneuver through senses and emotions with the breath of your words is unmatched. I honestly was sifting through your pages for a specific piece, and found my thoughts about my son that I could not put into words. There is so much beyond... I'm in tears. Simply stunning. Absolute fave.

Dude, you know we rote a few pieces on this topic and we have our own belief on it some of which are religious. But this is a great piece dude showing your love and willingness to sacrifice and understand your daughter. Personally we don't think that it's possible for someone considered sane to comprehend all that they are holding in there heads. We personally believe they contained all of those hidden secrets of the universe. How do they explain savants, they can't. Tight work dude
