Childhood Resplendence

Dashing through the long grass,

Emerald blades softly tickling my legs

I would run and play for hours,

The sun beating down on me

In resplendent, golden rays

The wind whipped through my hair,

Blowing chestnut strands

This way and that

I scoured stone after stone,

Searching longingly

For the perfect setup to fuel

My whim of a daydream,

Whatever it so happened to be

Beautiful days spent

In the warm embrace of

Mother Nature's light

Days I will forever cherish,

Always sacred to me,

Even though I'm no longer a child
