Hide and Seek In youth I played at hide and seek And lost my way while up the creek There I found the sands of time And turned around but lost my prime I looked for points of memory track I’d recognize to show me back But all I found was empty crave And empty kegs of misbehave From there it seemed an uphill pull My paddle seemed to loose its will And everywhere the face of change Which left me cold with all the strange Where once the fields were daffodil Now were naught but lilies fill Horizon seemed a mist away With darker night and grayer day I read somewhere you can’t go back The sands of time are never slack. |

PEEK.... But there's always forward ways on roads that will show to newer horizons that would glow of things I've never seen, and so... arm in arm, we poets throw the games of yesterday to the winds, and step forwardly spritely, once again. |

And so we must make the now as wonderful as the then - every moment a new breath of possibilities. Enjoyed this Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

I read somewhere you can’t go back The sands of time are never slack. And that can feel so cruel... especially to those of us who're enchanted by daffodils. *S* But lilies have their beauty, too... May every step forward be one of joy for you, my friend. *S* |
