Wonderment of Youth

Living vicariously through a child's eyes

Wonderment of Youth-

Clouds of pink cotton candy
Billowing gracefully by and by
Gracing me with their presence
whirling, twisting, swirling

A child's whisper's taken on the wind
Sunday's summer play date spent vegging at the park
Watching children and friends
Merry go rounds spinning in a frenzy
in a hurry a flurry a blur

Careless abandon gifts to children
A candied bracelet once eaten forgotten

Nearby little rough and tumblers
About to test their strength
Swinging recklessly upside down
Hair tousling, turning, touching the ground

No signs stopping anywhere in sight
Getting increasingly closer to twilight
Barreling down slide like a shell from a gun
they fly

No agenda to keep
Nor sand in hour glass counting down time
Just sand in a box building castles to the sky
