I want to see the world
through big, dark eyes
peering balefully at little injustices
planning ways to put things right
and help put the pieces into place

I want to wear cute red dresses
with big clunky boots
and walk, run, flutter about
graceful, on a mysterious path
invisible to all eyes
but mine-

big, dark, peering curiously
flashing with silly questions
and other, deeper thoughts.

I want to be charmed by life
and to charm others
with my little quirks and ways
playing games
with friends, strangers
and the boy I've known since always-

(I've found him already-
maybe we can ride free
on a bike, through little streets,
scattering pigeons
and laughing
at our strange, connected world.)

(Inspired by the movie 'Amélie')
