Basil's Brain

 i am remembering ... A time of unbridled JOY playing with mud cakes for hours on end i recall being buoyed ... by endless wonders All around me i am reminiscing ... The countless hours of play filled with laughter Where did those care not about the hours GO?! Why am i counting minutes now?! i need to return to those moments of JOY To enjoy being in the present minutes ... THAT bring me pleasure and bliss THE carefree pockets of happiness Simple, serene escapades i do not want to know the time for it matters not It is the captured camaraderie The memories made Experiences encapsulated In the treasure box of LIFE ... ONE that i can open To let out, all over again Precious "gems" in my heart An elixir to fortify myself A nectar to blanket me My safe haven of warmth, LOVE and HOPE.

 i float through the days unthinking ... i do not ponder beyond THIS day i cannot sleep & i cannot wake Somehow i must ... to move forward this day i learn that failure can be turned around & disaster maybe salvaged To create another new ... from an end Time may move slowly but i can observe ... , i can learn ... i am not stagnant, i am not "stuck" i am growing, i am evolving ... i may not understand all ... Every unfolding within me & around me Somehow,i shall triumph over THIS times.
