Friends turned unknown, Form abandoned sides
Forever changing world explored, ageing over time
Grown into old, still togetherness existed in mind

An experienced past dreamt, peaceful thought repeated
Memories unfolded, drained happiness once foretold
Danced by riversides, golden fields explored, knee high grass
Brushed against skins, absorbed summers air breathed in.

Preyed on souls, laid bounded, grass tangled flesh
Sprinkled dust, thickened air, sounded alert
Footstep soon heard, crushed particles to soiled earth.

The game, Hide and seek, a childhood joy
Wondering hands, scratched skin, Blooded bladed grass
Touched lump, hidden away, covered in blankets
Made of nature, brought to life by a child’s mind.

Awoken wide-eyed, memory emptied away
Sweat covered face, lasted evidence, dried
Dreamt world died, a forever ended game.

Past life vanished, present day remains
Death of childhood friends, reconnected
Thoughts cry tears, the grief submerged.

Closed eyed body, Drowned By Flooded memories
Rots to dusted air, at last set free from this earth
Swarmed essence, breezed to heavens gate.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Lee, this is so very well-written but heartaching, sweet friend, it is sad to lose so many childhood friends, and even sometimes hear the tragic stories of children, and then feel yourself aging too and do the best you can to hang onto that innocence you have left so you can recover the memories! (wipes tears) This is very heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, I send many angel hugs your way to comfort the pain, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiufl heart, sweet Lee, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

ahhh Lee . .  here you have reminded
me of the days when it was OK to come back home when the streetlights went on . . .
sad, yes . . .
seems so fleeting, yet ingrained
nice writing
