In My Youth

In my youth I soulful sang
                   in the white light
                   of the moon.


In my youth I naked danced
                   under fantastic flashes
                   of Aurora Borealis.

In my youth I torture howled
                   at shadowless dark
                   of storm witer skies.


Now I rest uneasy
                   longing for the
                                    songs
                                    dances
                                     howls
                    of my youth.

You don't just write with soul and guts, you choreograph. I usually find that 3 reads is minimum in the first sitting... printing for further absorption generally follows. This theme may be universal; the written 'utterances' are entirely yours.

(It's a long way from Catholic school, isn't it?)

You bring back memories. As a child one cannot wait to grow up. Grown up we spend the rest of our lives trying to find that child. Well written piece.......

Be safe,
