where the sky and horizon meet

In days gone by
I was an innocent
blissfully ignorant
of so many things

In days gone by
I cried so frivolously
with a heart
broken by small stings

If days gone by
were treasures
I could recreate
and live again

Would my days gone by
be as wasted
by a mind too young
to understand

That days to come
would be filled with sadness
much deeper
and much harder to comprehend

In days gone by
I was a child
never knowing
my happiness would end

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

Well they were certainly eaiser. Still if I had my time again i'm sure I'd make the same mistakes

I breathe the dust, the dust is me.

But blissful ignorance is part of being young, where it belongs, and in our memories.  Could you write about that bliss?

Childhood is not necessarily a happy time for some.  We learn a lot from our experiences however.

Moon Dust~ Of course, I would too   And that's probably not a bad thing because it makes us who we are today.  Who would we be if we hadn't made those mistakes?

Krawdad~ You are right.  I was fortunate to have that blissful ignorance at all.  Many children face hard realities much too soon in life.  This wasn't really a poem from my perspective, to be honest...it was just something that came out after a disturbing experience.  Perhaps someday I will write about that bliss with fondness.  We shall see!  Thank you for your honesty

Trillium~ Yes, and if we don't, well we get another chance next time around!

Kitten,

"Blissfully ignorant" = innocence.
What a wonderful time.

Ah, you are so right that wisdom can come and chase away the childhood days, yet we have a choice, to not let go of our childlike wonder, no matter what!

Good Write!
