colored toys

when i bring to you colored toys, my child,

i understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water,

and why flowers are painted in tints

i give colored toys to you, my child.

when i sing to make you dance

i truly now why there is music in leaves,

and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth

i sing to make you dance.

when i bring sweet things to your greedy hands

i know why there is honey in the cup of the flowers

and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice

i bring sweet things to your greedy hands.

when i kiss your face to make you smile, my darling,

i surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light,

and what delight that is that is which the summer breeze brings to my body

i kiss you to make you smile.
