~ Childhood Comes Seeping ~

~ Childhood Comes Seeping ~

Slow sleeping
In the late afternoon
My daydreams ease
So perfectly
Through my grandmother's hands
As I cross the street
Deep into the forest of memories
That are my childhood's
Tapestry...

A Wonka-like impression
Rolling out such sweet smells and recollections
Of marmalade mischief,
Morning's sizzling bacon,
And everlasting expressions
Filled with joyous effervescence
Bubbling up, through my nose
While tickling my tummy
With love and affection
Oh, to arise each day
To such childlike confections
Is a beautifully and boyishly
Bountiful blessing...

Slow sleeping
In the late afternoon
My memories ease
So deliciously through
Times spent, on my grandmother's farm
Where my imagination grew
And simplicity's charm
Took me deep into adolescence
And my love of life
Discovered
In my youth...
