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.
