One Today

A little girl all dressed in rainbows

whose smile was a fire

whose hair was a river

who laughed as it rained

who had shoes pink as snow

whose eyes were the sun and moon

Whose smile is a locked door

Whose hair is a prison

Who laughs as a secret

Who has shoes browns and clunky

Whose eyes reflect like a mirror, never showing the inside

Hidden constantly in his head, hiding from every word

Who is he?

A little boy all dressed in rainbows

Whose smile is infectious

Whose hair is the tail of a rabbit, bushy and bright

Who laughs as the wind burns him, because he can no longer feel

Who has shoes black and slim for running from his fears

Whose eyes are blades of grass designed to cut though those who hurt him

Who is he?

Who knows him?

Who is he, who?
