Childhood Suite I Somewhere hidden in the jet stream night are the childhood dreams I left swinging on wires out there, beyond that cozy little light fragile heartbreak glass slash all my tires feel myself sinking 'neath waves of imagination swirling with dinosaurs, comic books and sweet temptation skidding out on my bike pop bottle rockets light up the night gift on insight I try not to fight Something in the way of my dreaming wade through mists of nineteen-eighty something inside there is a low hum I'm singing all grown up and with a hand full of nothing Saturday morning cartoons, take back the time all beauty and color imbue my heart back to feelin' fine a broken-down carousel I'm set to fly upon a full force gale follow jet trails beyond the soft and pale... Horizon stretching out like a canvas colored red boyhood dreams I left under my bed way back when way back when if I could flash back to then I would, for the time today can't hold a firecracker to sweet yesterday and the true home I hope for always perhaps it's back there, in my childhood days soft sunrays, running through sprinklers without a shirt you trip, you fall, you don't get hurt it all gets better before it gets worse Someone I left back there in misty time can't tell the way back to feelings so true, so fine out here, these footprints of my innocence bring me back to beautiful, meaningful dreaming I feel myself in love with all these photographs and memories oh if only they can talk these houses on my old block a key in the lock unveil to me in sidewalk chalk... Everything I know, everything I love these hopes and dreams will never ever be enough to compare to the fulfillment of heart way back when, the soft graceful arc or just a clumsy trip when boy meets world lost in a swirl and more than ready to dream. "If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts" |

Oh you are good, this moved me in so many ways. I think the "sunrays" say so much, like spanning our dreams and our memories, and the deep desire to share ones heart and to feel the unconditional warmth of loving. I really love this soul drifter, more than I can express. |
