Sweet Potato Haircut

Joy smiles quietly amidst the city chaos,
pulls on a worn sunhat,
and breathes in the world with love, like always.

Peace navigated the lilting sidewalk,
tried to save her sandals from the stomping soles nearby,
and smiled at each passing face.

Creativity hid behind the desk,
took off all her clothes,
and waited for the rain to come.

Youth posed by the pool,
in the suit of a father, 
and jumped into the water swimlessly.
