The child in me br Is wide awake br Old habits of childhood br Still in my lonesome nature br All fresh and frisk br br The adult in me is rationale br The parent in its perfection's strive br The child in me is in Love! br In life; my timid sensitive soul br Is out to play with its imaginary mate br br So harmless to a point br Yet grotesquely enormous br In its total impact br My shadow in this fading moon's light! br Is keeping me company in my plight! br br I smile with wonder br In my eyes br At my thoughts br my mirth bubbles to surface br Yet untold happiness touches my lips! br br As if' Among flowers I find a cup of wine! ' br Li po inspired; poetry flows br With the wine into my cup br As moon keeps me company br and your thought with my shadows dance! br br With day break br We will part to separate ways br Reality will stand as parent br Ordering us to obedience br Our adult in its logic br Will make this magic disappear! ! br ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~malinikadirbr br malini kadirbr br
