Monday 25 December
I wrote this poem many years ago and it's always summed up for me the childhood feeling that I'd love to be able to reclaim and sometimes feel that I've lost forever now that Shani has gone.
The Wonderment of Childhood
- a recipe for self fulfilment and enjoyment
in a world of systems and rat races
take one open mind
with no added politics, pollutants or responsibilities
fill with unusual and impulsive things
add a dash of mysticism and spirituality for the more
enlightened wondrous poet
mix in ideas, creativity, dragons, unicorns, pixies,
clouds, rainbows, rain, orange, purple, children, flowing rivers and dresses, delight, fun
and a smile
in undecided amounts
simmer for no time in a joy of dreams
serve in an eggcup or an umbrella fit for a king
garnish with love, romance and a sprig of parsley
- serve as many as can find it
