The World Through Billy's Eyes

The World Through Billy’s Eye’s

The door swings open for a new year
Winter to Spring flourishing
The door swings open for an orphan boy
Seven years of why exploding

To Once Upon a Time unfolding
He leaps to the skies
on silver-lining wings
And dreams of being
the dancing Mouse King
Forty-two inches of pure, unmitigated joy
Towers to a thousand miles
On his smile
Beaming down at me

The ice is melting
My frozen steppes
The ice is melting
The coiled Spring in me
Releasing the risk to
Vault for the Brass Ring
Of the Adrenaline Ride
For another chance
To be realized

Oh blessed am I
To have glimpsed
This wondrous world
Of possibility
Through Billy’s Eyes.
