The winds playground

I came around to thinking of the time
When life was free and fun for all of us.
Like wind blowing around the mountain climb,
All children rush across the yard in trust.
They scream and laugh and cling to things so dear
And whisper to the world of lifetime dreams;
The dreams that make the future seem so clear
Are dreams the wind could only hold it seems.
Green meadows dance and join along with glee;
The flowers in the daylight air seem bright
While singing to the childrens' melody;
And nothing changes after day is night.

I contemplate on which I want to most,
But most of all which dreams to hold so close.

The rhyme is just adoring. It is smooth, not forced, and the flow is swaying off the page! It sets me off to a land far off and I can almost taste the beauty of nature and the naive innocence of a young child, younger than myself!

Wonderfully written!

Just like Mr. Daly I find it a bit too vague, the reader loses track and the beauty of your words is lost in an attempt to understand what is actually going on.
Of course it makes you think, but the reader won't be able to enjiy the full beauty of this poem and that's sad, because you are a real artist of the word.

awww those childhood yrs. Children are so carefree and full of dreams.
Everything seems right and bright and wonderful when we are kids and yet somehow we loose that at we age.
Wonderful write, enjoyed it

So enlightening and peaceful. Very positive read. It felt to me like the children were in heaven. Such happyness in this world can only be felt if your dead. Life destroys you and living it is difficult. Or is it true that such happyness can be felt but only if your a child. There minds are so innocent.
