Fearlessly poised, eagle eyes magnetically

Fasten mine to yours;

In a homemade gill net I am caught in your grey sea depths-

Wise as dolphins, youth vibrantly pours forth,

Soundless waves echo, bounce and gyrate off ocean floor

Ping-ponging their way along a pinball trail-

As your spirit dives into empty air.

Your lithe body paints a freestyle dive on an empty air molecule canvas-

Each skin cell sheds cleanly, recording your energetic pulls at air strands.

I catch you

A smile lurks and quirks.

Again my eyes are fastened to your intense ones

And find that it is

Myself

who is captive to

your eagle eyes

Jasper is finally weaned onto regular milk.  Both he and mom survived along with a few tears and help from Jasper’s Dad!

Now, he is a regular milk and bread man, just like Granpa Pranis.

Lately he has enjoyed exploring the world of food as he painted himself in cereal.
