The to never be again

A second not so far away Just a moment nothing more I remember it still I feel it in my bones and when I lie awake And yet I cannot see it The to never be again The to never be on swing sets and in trees In ignorance and simple In timeless and sublime Gone and lost and floating in the wind Lightly heavy in some way I may not understand The to never be with dolls and braids and pink and small The to never be again but for a moment now and then is all
