Sliding through my fingers
On a dark monsoon night,
The drops of rain pelt down
Reminding me of days gone by.
When as a child I played
Under darkened, cloudy skies,
Jumping over puddles,
Splattering water against the walls.
What then I failed to understand
Is clear to me now,
That you face life unprepared,
Unplanned and with a few regrets.
As the innocence of childhood
Gave way to an adult's fears,
Somewhere in between
I lost a child's ability to dream.
