Skipping Moonbeams

This little girl
why does she follow me
hovering
questioning eyes


I have no time for her
not now today
pressures and stressors
time compressors
leave no room for play


she beckons and whispers
you can be free
I silence the knowledge
im educated by college
certified degree


still she wanders close
humming the song i forget now
something i need to know
i wish she would just go


back to the past
skipping moonbeams wont last
doesnt she get it
time wont let up
moving too fast


she sits cross-legged
in my way
i see in her eyes
the mask of disguise

hold now
hold on

come out child
its safe to be
ill hold you a while
innocence undefiled
this little girl

my forgotten me
