Reminiscing

Running reckless

Buckled shoes



A smile that never ends

And a contagious laugh

In slow motion tranquility



Curly hair

Auburn coloured sun reflections



Missing teeth

But a spare quid in the pocket

By the fairy



That made us believe magic was real

With Harry Potter as your best friend



A bedtime

Just before watching your favourite programme

And a journal



As you practice writing

But blank confusion at grained paper



Night lights

Of stars on the ceiling

Lost in a fantasy of earth



Floating along a galaxy

Completely alone



You're not lost

But you are young

With your head in the clouds



Red and white pinafore dress

White socks



With burgundy ridges

And light absorbing shoes

With the strap that caught on anything with a wool material



Naivety and mindlessness

Running on grass



Walking on concrete

Swimming in the sea

Skipping on sand



Burning on pavements

Etched smiles



Contagious to anyone who sees

Spreading happiness like wildfire

In a community of people who are family



Summer holidays

With the good ole' British sunshine



And an ice cream with a flake

Whistling along to the song that plays

A little bit too loud



Hand in hand

Swinging back and forth



Tightened grips

And sweaty palms

Scuffed shoes



Muddy knees

Ice-cream splattered mouth nose and cheeks



It's a tale of old shoes

And soles of your feet

I've got blisters from running



On beaches and streets

In the absence of sound



Will you sing back to me?

Would you whisper the thoughts

And tell me to dream?
