To my nephew,on his Birthday

by Omer - Pisces

Lodged up there
On an imagined elephant's back
Your voice chants out with pride,
A medal of triumph, great in itself,
Strange and shining in its oracular strength,
Like the stars,
Dazzling us both
With precocious wisdom;

The roaring cataract of love 
Surrounds us
And your smile becomes a lion,
Golden-maned and true.

Reason for writing:

    My nephew's birthday!
