It Can Last

Poem

Fluttering inside the walls
Imagination flowing like waterfalls
Heart light
Glowing bright with childhood flight
Wings expanding
Rib cage inflating
With sunshine
Crisp and twinkling
In your squinting eyes
Rosy cheeks raised up to the sky
Soft feathers of happiness
Quivering with each breath
A new born into warm life
Gentle and free
Fresh water, fresh breeze
The ocean, flowers and trees
Weightless feet in the sand
The world caressing you
With its soft hand
You feel it slightly
Wistful joy you yearn
To fully grasp
Feeling a thin taste
For as long as it can last
