I no longer walk the stones,
along the busy street,
Nor do I dance among the shadows
cast beneath my naked feet.

Where once I was oblivious,
of this worlds passing throng,
In the rush and hurried frenzy
I somehow now belong.

In songs and silly laughter,
Once drew my youthful heart,
To places filled with wonder,
vowing never to depart.

Today my time is taken up
pursuing others dreams,
Where I am prone to ponder on,
plots and endless schemes.

O' that I once again might walk,
Atop the stony wall,
Not hurrying to reach some goal,
or fearing I might fall.

But just for fun and nothing more,
find joy in shadow play,
And laugh aloud in foolish glee,
in the middle of the day.

Look at me I'd tell the crowd,
I'm balancing on the wall,
And laugh when they would fuss at me,
don't worry I shall not fall.
