Back When I Was Young

;#; Back when I was young
Parts of me still hang
A future path, undefined
These parts of me are held behind
;#; ;#; To the fore
To the here and now
Experienced again
Re-wound
;#; ;#; Shaken - Stirred
Upset & confused
The growing up again has just begun
Old feelings, words and states of mind
Are felt
Then blow away
;#; ;#; Then
;#; ;#; Did we hold on to remember?
To relinquish control?
To be safe and secure in a cruel world?
;#; ;#; Now
;#; ;#; Stepping out into sunshine
Blue skies and change
These old eyes are renewed
and see a new world
Experienced again
“Don't take it away!”
… and release …
It's a passing phase
As the young fills its space
On the inside
;#; ;#; To grow and be whole
To be in the world
or not here at all
