Giggling In the Sun

Giggling in the Sun Remember when everything was, And without judgement Returning to its innocence Closer we were To the spirit then Nothing prejudged by a child Simply beneath the sun Nothing more Than acceptance unconditional Then When do you think We lose it Between institution and verbiage The wonderful loses its way No time to take As the giggling pleasure become a roar For teams, for winners, for millions of dollars For recognition, for property, education and intellectual snobbery Until as adults none of us can say “Can you come out to play ?” And so filled to replete And suspecting that certain something Missing We search for the rest of our days To discover a moment We once knew so well A moment of love, Of acceptance unconditional In a bright eyed sun lit space The place where we once spun our voices in laughter Those days of innocence We lost So as adults some few come to realise How to see with our own eyes And return to acceptance Some of us as adults begin to see The complex nature of experience and reality And from a sudden smile Born in our hearts The child as an adult Is reborn And maybe, just maybe…. Anything is possible.
