With a crescent smile,
I look upon him,
and say, “A year has passed."
He looks at the world, dim,
pointing at the places
I have been before.
A bigger smile yet,
I search for him,
curious of the weight of knowledge.
From up here,
he leaves daring footsteps,
constantly tracing back.
I would that he were lighter,
light enough to fly up here,
and sit in the silence.
“A year has passed,"
he sighs to himself,
and I frown back.
