Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl with golden hair
Acted like a human boy
That would pause on clouds of joy
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Swung from trees like a monkey pup,
Saw the world from downside up
Then reality came crushing,
Drowned my joy with human pain.
"Don't go!"
"Must go."
Never again!
Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl with golden hair
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Now inside I keep my pearl,
An image of a golden girl,
Locked away in a secret part
Covered and heard in a seashell heart.
