returning to greener pastures, young grasslands, changed over time,
but the essense remains, wishing i had taken greater care, taken
more, used more, good things, could have been good memories, could
have beens, weres, ledges too short, used to be taller than
me, couldn't even climb up, couldn't even touch them, younger days,
shorter days, differences over time, the pine trees are gone, the
paths different, platforms gone, fences put up, door handles removed
from secret pathways inside, hidden places under the stage, secret
places still remain? memories intact, sweet, and saved, forever
placed underneath beds, in boxes, in drawers, to be enjoyed, again,
to be remembered, cherished, enjoyed, again, pictures, not too long
ago, times not that far removed, much closer than i realized, right
around the corner, sharp edged, but corner nonetheless, not within
eyesight, but hearing and speaking works just fine, and sleep beckons,
all nighters return but paid, and worked for, and things never quit
making sense, but working, or working slowly
