Wide eyed reader

I look for you in the stars, and in the streets, and all the people I greet. I look for you in books of poetry. Such a place to find, yet unaware that I'm lost, like a button. Arrive home from work to flip through pages of a book I knew as a child, yet still not remember the reason, so special then. It was though, so special.. Watched 'To kill a Mockingbird', recalled fond memories of Scout and Jem. A proud Atticus Finch.., and Tom Robinson. But today's me isn't the same, as the me I remember. More akin to a cartoon, a paper cut out, a meme., compared to the wide eyed child of then. ~~~~~ To Kill a Mockingbird - Novel by Harper Lee, 1960 ~~~~~~
