Radio

Invisible pictures excite my mind

I remember you very young

Dreams of mythical monsters

Speaking recalling detailed images

I listened intently to every word

By this time Radio was our friend

Into the sweet silence you spoke

Steadily forming elaborate scenes

Tense moments held between us

Third dimension reality your gift

Mobile studio with Mum is fun

Hot tea ritual with cookies for us

Third and precious fragile son

Letters backwards upside down

Dyslexia friend foe or gift to you

Decade of love shaken in us

English Granny to your rescue

Patiently teaches love of letters

Seven years fly away compelling

You to understand and ascribe

Quotations words letters are bright

Like you they are singular sights

To behold entire universes swim

Inside this child boy young man

Who humbles me with his brilliance
