Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time I stepped into a forest
And lost myself
For days
Wandered around trying to smell mushrooms
But they had no smell
And their taste was not okay
Once upon a time I flew like the birds
In spirit form
For two or three lifetimes
Refusing to reincarnate
Until I remembered the forest
And how wonderful meditation is
And smelling cinammon and vanilla
So I came back to begin all over again
Refreshed
In baby's skin
My head kissed
And my cheeks admired
Now I must go
To rest my soul
And dream about my other once upon a time's.
