Behind
I’ll leave myself behind
In times when dancing was replacing words
And dreaming was the main job
When summer light was filling all the eyes with hopes
And all my drawers were stuffed with silly jokes
When laughter was imprinted in my skin
And stories were written everywhere within
When people had a magic touch for sorrows or for grief
And all the worries had to fight wars to reach anywhere near
When in my heart was always spring
And I was mastering the game of being childishly amazed
When days were carving beauty in the skies just to reflect our worlds
And all the peace inside a dawn was given as a gift
When life was in the air itself
And neither death, nor loss have found the path toward our souls.
I’ve switched my clock in the reverse way for tonight,
I want to leave a part of me behind.

When you learn to live intensely in the present…you never truly leave the valued memories of the past behind…because they are values…they are always present…and an eternal part of your true character…

Counter-clockwise, a trip back to our childhood when everything was perfect – in our eyes, in our souls. Torn between what was and what might be, between certain past and hopeful – or not so much – future…

Re-read this, slowly. So beautiful. I can’t chose a favourite line, because I have several, but I just LOVE ‘when dreaming was the main job’. Magical, lyrical, great piece. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, H xxx
