A CLAMOROUS DESIRE

I have a desire
       To relive my childhood days.
Far from the selfishness,
       Back to my birthplace
Far from the distress,
       Of these present days.
Far from the wisdom,
       And the world’s evil face.
Far from the troublesome
       Paths replete of twists and turns.
Far from the boredom,
       And these inceasant concerns.

Into a world devoid
       Of all this nuisance.
Into a world of
       Innocence and ignorance.
Into a world of
       Wonder and amazement.
Into a world of
       My wishes and contentment.

When I believed in
       Angel and fairy fiction.
When there’s no science
       To confine my imagination.
When my creativity
       Knew no bounds
When in everything
       Happiness could be found.
When I had all the time
       To play and wander around.
When I felt weightless
       With no work to do.
I wish I could go back
       And may this wish come true.
