Short Cut Thru A Meadow

A Butterfly floats around my head
But I'm a man and cannot be led
I have important things to do
But the spring air is crisp and new

As I breath the green of the grass
The Butterfly makes another pass
I cannot help but follow him
Seeming to laugh it lands on a limb

Joyfully I climb the giant oak tree
My god, this feels as it used to be
Sliding out on the low,thick branch
I ready my hands, there's just one chance

I'm a second to slow and he dances away
With him flies the innocence of this day
Heaving a sigh, I swing back down
To set my grown feet upon the ground

I'm reluctant to take back life's realities
I cannot abandon my responsibilties
Again the Butterfly circles my head
But again I'm a man and cannot be led

I like that, I think that is the way we all feel some time or another. We all would just love to not have stress and play and pretend,
then reality sets in and it's"time 2 come down 2 Earth. Good job and well done.

But at least you got a good climb in, and that's good for anyone, man or boy. I enjoyed this one, and I like the way you come about at the end to the beginning.

Thank you, Everyone!

I think the freedom of childhood is still deep inside each of us and comes out every once in a while. I look forward to my second childhood!

Thanks
