The Forgotten Cascade
Wherever a waterfall may cascade
The world is full of magic
A billion sparkling water droplets on parade
Creating a world so idyllic
Feeding an oasis, where giant palms provide shade
To your secret world where angels still frolic
A place where nymphs and fairies are no longer afraid
Here unicorns now extinct in our adult world, are still free to run manic
You might even say frenzied
They live in a world without panic
Once you have visited this neural garden, an unforgettable memory is formed
This memory of another world is imprisoned but awaits revitalization, with a tonic
So, as you sit up in bed at night, supping hot milky cocoa, and partially dressed
In a time when your world has aged, and you have become more stoic
It is good to remember, that when we write for fun, the reins of long-off times are freed
And in our minds the living world becomes poetic
Footnote:
It is so refreshing when you allow yourself to visit yester-world, to walk beneath that waterfall, allowing your childhood fantasies to cascade over you, washing away those years of silt, that clouds your memories.
