I’ve found a peace,
A peace that only lasts but a while,
A peace which reminds me that of a child.
I’ve found a place,
Where I run with no emotion,
Where time stands still,
And where I never grow old.
The air is cool,
Like a Hawaiian night’s breeze,
And all that surrounds me
Is serenity.
As the sun rises,
My eyes fill up with pure bliss,
And the sparkle never dies.
The flowers never wilt.
The seasons change,
But I,
Never do.
The grass is emerald,
The ocean is a rainbow of sapphire and cerulean blue.
The stars shine brighter than daylight.
The atmosphere has a sweet scent of purity.
I live in the innocence of a child,
Knowing nothing but what’s right in front of me;
Appreciating all that is good,
And all that is free.
Where there is no such thing
As animosity..
But when reality awakens me,
The place that I come and see,
But only for a little while,
Is a place,
That brings out the child in me...
"you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray"
Author notes
Sometimes I wish that I could go back in time to my childhood, to remember what it was like when I felt free.. when everything was good, and when I truly was grateful for what I had. I just miss those days when I was young and careless, with no problems and looked around me, looked at the world like it was PURE, and beautiful, looked at the stars and was amazed by the sparkle, looked at the sky and realized how big and blue it was, looked at the flowers and smelled them just because, and asked question upon question like why is the grass green? or why is the sky blue? Sometimes i just wanna get away from here, and go back to a place and time where i truly felt free.
