The Sky She Sees Is Beautiful

To be at peace with myself again..


To ..

 Smell the scent of fresh-cut grass
 Hear the crunch of falling leaves
 Wear garlands of yellow daises
Feel the crisp air of the breeze.

Taste the rain upon my tongue
as drops drizzle on my lips
Run barefoot in fields of green
Welcome back the bird song bliss.

Leave behind shallow mud puddles
Roll-up track pants to my knees
Be happy with who I am
and the simple life I lead.

Because...

In simplicity lives memories
of who we were back then
Before adulthood took over
Kidnapped each sweet boy and girl.

Oh this little girl inside me
In dark woods it begs and screams
She knows nothing of the cluttered world
Her young heart belongs to dreams.

Her thoughts as snow     Untainted!
Her words   are loud and clear.
The sky she sees is beautiful
and love is everywhere.



PS: Just a simple poem :)

Hi Charma, This poem is not a simple write. It is beautiful and it reminds us to look for "beauty" although it may be hidden. When we change our perspective the beauty of "life" is all around us. Thanks for sharing this gem. I'm so happy that you are back:-) Alexis

This is so beautiful, Charmaine! Isn't is funny how young people can't wait to be adults, but adults wish to go back their childhoods. ah to be young again, seeing beauty and unaware of all the bad things in the world. So glad you're back.

I'm happy I'm back too dear friend.Indeed life is strange.My daughter is already aiming to grow older faster..But I wouldnt let her ..:)..And yes once we feel ourselves growing we yearn to be young again dont we?I do for sure :)
