"Spirit Child"

Dancing (2).jpg

Remember those days when you were free?
When you could
Be like a child,
Dancing barefoot in the moonlight?

When the
Weight of the world and all the cares of adulthood hadn’t
Yet accumulated on your psyche?

What a magical time
To experience such freedom!

What happened to us?

 
Why do we allow ourselves to be so
Encumbered?

That inner child is still there,
Masked beneath all the rubbish,
Peeking out in fright and
Trepidation.

We must find a way to set
That little child free; free from all the
Care, Fear and Anxiety.

Release the Tension,
Relax the Spirit and set
The balances aright!

Take off
Your shoes, step out into
The moonlight, & dance
The night away, like
The Spirit Child
That you
Are.

Oh yes! I do remember those days @jerrytsuseer It gets harder and harder to, "Be like a child, and dance barefoot in the moonlight" the older one gets BUT it is not impossible. So that makes it achievable doesn't it? I must make a point of doing so and re-capture those juvenile days of freedom before I get any older. 😄

LOve your beautiful poem my friend. Have an awesome weekend. 🌞
