Yah Yah, Aye

you smell like

earth

herbs

gardens

a little more

human than the rest of us”

Keep a daily diary

Always take a ride on each carousel you see

Stop to give coins to every violinist you hear

Never pass a lemonade stand without buying a glass

Always have a drawing book and pencil handy

Take tea every afternoon

Scribble down your dreams at dawn

Take yourself to the cinema

Give a name to all the bumblebees you spy

Sleep in pretty nightgowns

Read your favourite poetry out loud

Write and illustrate your fondest memory

Carry your favourite sweeties in your left pocket

Wear a locket with faerie dust inside

Tie your hair up in ribbons

Remember always to be Brave

-wear rose face masks -moisturize your skin -use sugar scrubs -paint your nails a pale pink -listen to new music -curl your hair -bat your eyelashes softly -bake blueberry muffins -wear satin dresses -burn lavender scented candles -buy yourself roses

you look like a faerie, an elf, ethereal

like titania breathed life into a porcelain doll and made something of perfect beauty and purity. 

like a sunbeam shone onto snow and the sparkling light coalesced into a shining being.

like two young girls picking wildflowers-in love with the spring and each other- dropped a rose in a clearing and it bloomed, revealing a figure curled asleep in the heart

you don’t look like you belong in this world, of cigarettes and cars and concrete

-Swingsets (To swing through the air both up and down)

-Riding a bike, scooter or skateboard  (they go really fast, especially downhill!)

-Swimming (Its weightless and you can glide in it like its the air) 

-Running in an open area to catch the breeze flowing through your body

-Standing up on a higher area ( if possible! A balcony, a mountain or hill, etc) 

-Standing at the rocks or ledge by the ocean (If you can! it gives a strong wind)
