Once I Smiled
|
Once I smiled a smile so rare, loved a girl with golden hair Acted like a human boy that would pause on clouds of joy Ran through fields like a child of the ground kissed and touched with a silent sound Swung from trees like a monkey pup, saw the world from downside up Then reality came crushing drowned my joy with human pain "Don't go!" "Must go" Never again! Once I smiled a smile so rare, loved a girl with golden hair Ran through fields like a child of the ground kissed and touched with a silent sound Now inside I keep my pearl An image of a golden girl Locked away in a secret bard Covered and heard in a seashell heart |
