Second Childhood

An incomprehensible blur of faces and colors,
Sounds becoming clearer until they form “words”,
Whole words found and explored with abandon,
New wonders added to build a reality; growing up.
And I lived, wrote my heart onto the pages,
Learned studiously, laughed with my dear friends
And at night in mood beams, dreams soared,
Until normal life was achieved and I sat.
What lurching horror to find my chair gone
And I fell into a swirling void of confusion,
Stripping me down to my fragile core
And I was a child for the second time.
Loss could not bind my heart for long
And stubbornly, I jumped into the new life
To find a joy filled land of tastes and shapes,
So that I grew up well and was blessed.
