Just a thought

Unknowing
Lost
In a world
Still growing
Nothing has meaning
Days have no end
Oh, how I wish
To be a child again..

So true. Oh to be a child again - innocent, without cares, worries, responsibilities etc. Always amazes me how much can be said with just a few choice words. Nice job.

A longing for those carefree days of our childhood....how simple they were......

The older we get, the wiser we become, yet our lives strangely are enshrouded in complexity. We find ourselves lost, feeling hopeless and longing for inspiration and a pathway into the light of happiness.
It is then, in those moments of despair and confusion that our minds take us back to those beautiful, innocent days of youth.
Short, poised and written so truthfully. A sweet poem.

Thank you! You've summed up my thoughts exactly.

you know we can't take the time back and relive the past but ya we can always make a wish to hold that time again when we were young kids. Those are really special moments when we were innocent, having no burdens and no responsibilities.

Enjoyed this little piece.

And so we arrive at the solution presented to Nickademus... If you come from such traditions.
To be childlike is a blessing into oneself. I've been practicing just this skill.
A wise bit of wording shaped into a longing...

[A.marie.speaks]

Thank you. I'm trying to get back that as well.

I do understand this poem. To be young and be fearless again. A wish for the most of us. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

I agree with this.... whatever our age, we are always a work in progress.

"To be a child again..." ,
when things were innocent and wondrous and new.
(and love wasn't such a difficult task)
Loved your thought, thank you for sharing this work!

I think everything has meaning, but I agree on the last two lines. Enjoyed the half-rhyme of end and again. Good work. Best wishes. CD

I was just implying that most children can't grasp double or secret meanings..everything is pure and care free.. I miss not knowing the meanings behind things and the meaning of time. Thank you for reading and your comments.

So many things you speak in few shorten words. Yeah, the time keeps moving damn slipping off the damn fist of hands like a dust .. lost in winds. With time, things getting changed, everything becoming not so familiar as they might have been in earlier few days - in childhood. Childhood's been good, but the funny thing is, we come to know the worth of childhood only when it's gone just time, heart comes to value love, when it's goddamn gone. Short, simplistic and very deep poetry. Certainly, one of my fav. Excellent work!
