Ah, how I wish I could freeze time, And vanish into Daisy's mystical rime. Unreachable in child's school hood, after cutting short a fleeting childhood. Everything here appears to be blissful, A vast amber bumble bee bolts onto a bristle. I long to gaze at the vast sea and vivid sky, Well, I'm keen here, but must move away. Without hurdles or goals, I will be stuck, In cosmic dust, I hovered and struck. Faded into the night at dawn and twilight. The stars pull me into a multi-blossom sight. Holly heralds, zesty flavors, and mossy smell, I had no wish to bid my pure soul farewell. The palm slipped into the moon's grasp, Orchids, violets, and waves of toffee inclasp. Excessive enthusiasm for the cool night. Even black stars prefer photophobic light. An infant treks to the twilight kingdom. Alike a pilewort nurtured to be handsome   Teardrops of nostalgia remain out of range. Then, hunt for the hay in a secluded grange.
