Departure 19

__A re-visit; this was originally posted here, on March 24th of 2011. It was a reminder of awaiting the arrival of summer, and was originally scribbled during that wait of (circa) 1975.

Then and Now

Hours were longer, and in
Wishing for the day.
A child slept through
Bleaker nights,
Awakening to
Bluer skies where
Birds curled higher
Above greener trees,
Fields were broader
Hills taller,
Brooks deeper, and
Cleaner winds blew
Through darker forests:
Tomorrows were the
Next steps along
Secret paths that
Led to unknown
Places, where
Thickets of fatter
Raspberries waited.
And the
Sun rained down
To pull the earth
Through greening
Stems... into brighter
Flowers.

The child saw these things
Then... and now,
In the sculpture of memory.

Really reminds me of that waiting as a child. Our minds making everything grand

much to imagine
journeys past the moon and stars
the mind of a child

not sure why the submission didn't go through - could you resubmit? Thanks

We still have the same expectations of a child who waits for summer, for we are still that child in an adults body.

Your beautiful words have brought forth wonderful memories...thank you-m~
