The child in me
Is wide awake
Old habits of childhood
Still in my lonesome nature
All fresh and frisk
The adult in me is rationale
The parent in its perfection's strive
The child in me is in Love!
In life; my timid sensitive soul
Is out to play with its imaginary mate
So harmless to a point
Yet grotesquely enormous
In its total impact
My shadow in this fading moon's light!
Is keeping me company in my plight!
I smile with wonder
In my eyes
At my thoughts
my mirth bubbles to surface
Yet untold happiness touches my lips!
As if' Among flowers I find a cup of wine! '
Li po inspired; poetry flows
With the wine into my cup
As moon keeps me company
and your thought with my shadows dance!
With day break
We will part to separate ways
Reality will stand as parent
Ordering us to obedience
Our adult in its logic
Will make this magic disappear! !
