Childhood Lost

Rating: 5.0


Dear me,
where did i lose you?
And where shall I find you?

Yesterday is a treasure lost
so, why did you stay there?

Somewhere in my memories,
there you hide,
but when shall I seek you?

That innocence,
in your eyes,
my New World ruined that.

That merry-making,
amongst thoughts is lost.
For today,
I do see that childhood,
but all scattered,
just like the scattered sand,
I used to play with.

As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know

I do see that childhood / but all scattered, just like the scattered sand / I used to play with.... Immaculate style and an amazing portrayal of childhood phase of life which has become a part of history.
