Reminiscing

long ago when at the start
of life, when I was born,
breathing with a beating heart
simplicity the norm...

the wonder of the morning light
the warmth of my mum's love
sparkling stars in sky at night
moonbeams from above

embraced by water's warm caress
pillows, blankets too
awed and thrilled by more or less
anything I could do...

wordless thoughts which came and went
like visions in a dream
feelings seeming heaven sent
flowing in a stream

of neverending days and nights
awake and too asleep
of sounds and smells and tastes and sights
like sailing on a deep

sea of possibilities
an ocean where my mind
was intrigued by everything
everywhere all the time...
