Looking through that big glass window
Remembering those things…
Of monkeys that danced and trees that
Housed people of sorts
A delicious meal prepared entirely
By little hands in stone chips and dirt
Of people in far-away lands
Blonde haired, blue eyed princes
To sweep her off her feet
Unicorns are a girl’s best friend
Candy land and songs of lore
Enchanting, brooding eyes
Hidden under curling lashes
Encouraging deep blushes and…
Whispered notions
Of witches in the crooked house
Moonface and the clouds
The deep blue sea
Sparkling in the sun
With their coves and reefs
And Mermaids!
So far away it seems
Seen through the thick glass window
The one that shuts out
Those by-gone days
And unfulfilled desires
Where did she disappear?
That wonderful girl who played with me?
In the gorgeous cherry tree?
In our secret garden?
In the world we created…
Of secrets, dreams and mystery
That girl with the liquid brown eyes
Her plaits swaying as she walked beside me
The one only I could see?
And why did Teddy and his gang
Stop waking at night?
Why did pixies
Stop dropping by?
Where is that world…
I see through the window?
Where is that distant land of
Pirates, gold, magic and lure?
What lies through the window?
And how did I come to be on this side?
Remembering those things…
Of monkeys that danced and trees that
Housed people of sorts
A delicious meal prepared entirely
By little hands in stone chips and dirt
Of people in far-away lands
