The words,
their words,
filled these fleeting days~
Yeats and Cummings
and moons the size of
copper coins.
And every bit as bright.
Sitting at the waves
I watched a little girl play hopscotch
and thought back to
my girlhood
which seemed only like a blink ago.
All the words are crowding into my mind again
words like boater hats and
old dusty poetry books~
daisies growing through the floorboards.
I hope they never end.
I love them
and only ever want to
speak of love.
I can remember playing hopscotch in the school playground. Such a simple game but so much fun. I also loved skipping!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about girlhood slipping away in the blink of an eye. I still often think of myself as a girl because I look so much younger than I am, but I'm not. Not really...
Sorry I've been away a while.
