Take me back
to the days of youth gone by.
To the days before a small device
controlled and stole our lives.
To the days when every second
wasnt spent staring a screens.
Where I listened to the birds
and memorized the songs they sing.
Back when the moments in between were times to feel at peace.
To sitting underneath a tree,
closing my eyes and letting be.
To staring at the clouds,
and feeling every summer breeze.
I used to be so close to it all
the dirt, the creek, the sky.
I hope its not to late to reconnect
before I die.
