Being A Boy (a recollection)
In the late afternoon, my daydreams
Ease, so perfectly...
Grandmother's hands through my fingers
Not sleeping..... my childhood lingers
With sweet smells, like morning bacon
Containingย malleableย paintbrushes
And remembrances,
Making me smile through effervescent thickness
Bringing me such pleasure, with memories' tickles
By my youth, in all its whimsy
Still, the expression on my face in the mirror
Does not lie, but so reverently malingers
In the catacombs of my beliefs
As I glide on the happy notion
That I am alive
And not in some imagined sepulcher,
But still dancing, in my solitude
And still smiling,
At the miracles,
Of my youth...
Oh glorious joy
Had I,
While
Being a boy,
And so I smile
Relieved,
At my own,
Most happy,
Recollection...

Memories are so significant as you get older. Experiences can be used to aid you in the present, Remembering loss can give you a rounded perspective. Recollecting past events can bring mixed emotion !
Great work.

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Those precious memories of the culmination of our youth. ย Those events that stand out in our minds from so long ago. ย Those blessed connections to our youth, that are now the harbingers of glorious remembrances. ย How do we recapture those puerile passions? ย So young, so innocent, before our impregnation into reality. ย I don't want to grow up, said Peter Pan. ย I wish I had said the same.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
xox Larry
