PAST LIFE

Can you remember when you were three? 
Playing in the garden, playing free 
Sitting on your backside 
Designing the perfect mud pie 

Can you remember watching the ants? 
How they marched in formation 
With military precision 
Carrying food twice their weight 
Some struggled to get under the gate 

Can you remember making daisy chains? 
Sitting on the grass as it started to rain 
You’d look up and open your lips
Catching rain drops
on your tongue 
They would sit 

Can you remember watching fireflies?
You would sit totally mesmerised 
Watching them fluttering around 
Like little light bulbs
they made no sound

Can you remember
counting the stars? 
Looking at the planets
laid on your back 
Thinking this could be a scene
from star trek 
You would look up
at the glorious moon 
Thinking how could a cow
jump over the moon 

Can you remember
your first day at school? 
How they teased and were so cruel 
But you stood your ground and acted cool 

Can you remember you first seaside visit?
Pressing your feet in the sand 
Feeling the grains surround your feet 
Slipping into the crevices  between your toes
Were it came from nobody knows

Can you remember your first day at the fair?
You’d ride the rides without a care 
Candy floss to follow 
Sticky and sweet 
Merry go rounds
You’d ride to compete
I would always choose a horse 
Pretend to race my brother of course 

Can you remember
 your very first kiss? 
The passion that flowed 
As your lips locked
for the first time 
Saliva flowed like a fine wine 
Eyes closed tight
because you was shy

These are the days i long to relive 
But sadly it cannot be as time machines don’t exist 
Well not yet that’s for sure 
But who knows there might be an invisible door 
And maybe then I’ll go back in time 
Relive the days of my past life
