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
