..today I feel
as though I want us
to be children together...
laughing and playing
and seeing all around us
with big eyes of wonder
and excitement......
you,
the little boy in
the garden with butterflies
and I,
the tiny girl,
peeping over the gate
wanting so much to join
you in play...

This is really lovely....
A child is filled with so much wonder..it's good to let go and view life from their eyes, & our own heart at times.
Delightful.

I remember my childhood been so sad
I wanted to conquer the world, but they would not let me, how helpless I felt
You have painted a nice picture here
Nicely done

It's like you are me or I, you. This is love. Wanting to be innocent and just free again in your heart with someone that knows how to let this adult world go sometimes. For we must bear such adult, mature weights.. we must balance it with our imaginations, dance and hope. Beautiful.

well, I hope the gate opens up on your delightful fantasy.

me too! thanks for reading...Peace, Rhonda

I have a day like this almost every day, I don't know many who would not yearn for that childhood innocence again. To be able to run and play and you're biggest worry was whether it was going to rain or not. Beautifully done, it makes me yearn once again for those days...

For me this seems to pick up again from the source of your magical 'childhood' memories which I've tasted before.
It's really wonderful and so moving Rhonda. I also suspect very meaningful and beneficial for yourself as much as for us reading them.
Bless you
Sol

Oh my gosh! This is DIVINE!!! I love it. Really, really love it.
today I feel
as though I want us
to be children together
Just these lines in themselves...oh! They're beautiful.
Do I ever have a day like this? Yes, absolutely. Every day of my life.
I so want us all to be children together. How much more fun and loving life would be. And so beautiful when you find someone who you can feel like this with.
Come over and play in my garden with me anytime!

Actualy I have and it was recently. When ever I get around my new friend that is what we feel. We are both adults yet it feels so good to act like little kids with each other. It seems to bring out another side of us when we connect. So anyway beautiful write!

Sorry for the late reply, foryourowngood, and thanks for the personalized comment...I know the feeling you speak of and I love to act as a child sometimes too...best wishes for you and your new friend... Peace, Rhonda

I love the image created here, and the subtext behind it. The last two stanzas are my favorite. Is there any specific sort of laughing or playing that they're doing? I'm just wondering, because if you had something in mind, maybe you could put it there... but this is fun. It made me smile.

My apologies for so late a reply, redteacup....I had images of games I played as a child, but I wanted the reader to be able to put their own games into the piece...that is partly why I used the word garden rather than yard, it expands the context, or so I thought. Great comment, thanks! Peace, Rhonda

I look at my kids with a similar wonderment. I wish weren't so busy that I couldn't spend a day just playing in the garden.

Hi there, I do apologise for the lateness of this reply because your comment is so touching and so well understood by me and probably every parent on the site...I loved those days when I could play with my kids when they were very young...every moment is a jewel in a crown of priceless moments with them, take the time my friend...everything that interferes is just dross..
...thanks for your great comment, Peter...Love, Rhonda

-
-
the age?...I hadn't thought about actual age...but I suppose I would say four or five...very young...innocent was more the image I sought...thank you for the question, my friend...it gave me a reason to walk through the garden again...Peace, Rhonda

cool!
nice imagery, and nice light happy subject!
and we should all have days like the one described here.

Excellent
All of us have the longing to go back to the childhood state of bliss, especially when the world around is full of falsity.

and I,
the tiny girl,
peeping over the gate
wanting so much to join
you in play...
Ah..I love the innocence and the honesty of the soul here..Indeed a great piece is here..well done....
