raindrops clog my
thoughts

and words seem to
hold the weight of
one million tons
when spoken from the mouth of
someone
much older than I

mother and father

my
hidden lifeline


Somewhere in the
thirteenth year
I realized that

the world is much bigger
than my thoughts

and
suddenly I feel like
the child I so
desperately
don't want to be

I float around
in my little world
where a path awaits

paved for me

I listen to my
music and

full of naive passion
I
dream of the days
when I will be born

I fall in love with a
white dress
and
a man
no clearer than a
morning fog

I smile silly and
dream of the day I will
start living


not today
or tomorrow

but someday

the brightest
seven letters
in my
child's
heart

Someday ....
the word that contains it all for us.

A gently nostalgic piece .
