Rock It Bye Baby

  I want to remember

            a past with Sweet Peas

easy breezy summers

& mazy, lazy days

   wading in the pools of curiosity

childhood laughter

          echoing from the trees

jumping fish and frogs

         collide to do a dance

 Prancing along the rocks

                  brilliance of cobalt blue

skimming stones

                    to watch them thunder

my mind drifts

         like a swing

 over the sea

Pearls of raindrops

              start to cascade

catch them

              on the tongue,

                 they taste of awe

chrism's of rock candy 

              plummet from the sky

               _THE WINDS OF WINTER IMPLODE MY FANTASY_

                reality as stark bluebell's child

                     with pitiful saucer eyes

               rock it by baby is not a lullaby

Like waking from a dream into bad reality! The beginning pulled me in, with your vividly images of those lovely innocent days... Then a winter slap in the face!! Wake up! You're an adult now!
I think we can still find those moments though... I hope. And yeah, i never understood why anyone would sing that dark lullaby to thier child.
Wonderful Frieda!

Ha that's a good way to put it, a 'winter slap in the face'...I like that. Thanks Horizon.

I almost feel apologetic for having a normal healthy childhood. If I had known it wasn't that way everywhere, I could have saved some to share.
Thought-full write.

[Frieda P]

Nice thought Michael but I don't think it's something you can share, you're either lucky enough to get it or not. Thanks.

[Michael G.]

I know I couldn't... just know, there are those who would have.

[Frieda P]

I certainly do know that with your generous heart....

Thanks so much Renee, this was a cathartic write for me, thanks for reading, appreciate your review.

[Renée]

I understand and I hope it brings that " little one inside " some peace knowing her voice is finally heard...

[Deron Alexis]

hmm to think children try so had to grow up and adults just want to turn back the clock

[Frieda P]

Hmmm, not all of us, thanks Deron.
