She is a carefree child skipping through the woods in the spring of her life. See her skipping into her future, oblivious to the life that is to be. Decades later she will look back at this carefree time in the spring of her life, and she will recall the beauty of the woods in springtime’s warmth, knowing that today the rare spring so long ago is utterly beyond reach.

Hmm..Puts me in the mind of my childhood And young adult beaches..Coconut flesh Coloured sands.' Serene stretches riches Of the soul living among a free people.'
