Back Then

I remember back in those days

When kids were friends just because they wanted to be

Before trivial things designed social boundaries

When everyone ran care-free and dazed on all life had to offer

Before we all sat alone at night

Staring out the window at nothing and thinking everything

Wondering how far away a different life was

Wondering what could be and what would never be

    A recluse and a homebody, little entices me to step outside like I do when water falls from the sky. The smell of fresh grass and wet pavement is magic to the senses. But the experience of being surrounded by it all is another.
