DAY 159

When the world around presses in
man yearns to go back into the womb;
flee back to a childhood
filled with dreams galore
and worries nay.

How strange is the human mind
that yearns to leap into adulthood
when in the arms of childhood.
But when the child becomes the father
and the world around him begins to crumble
he wants to roll-back time.

What man wouldn't give years of his life
to live that life again
if only for a moment
a life,
when worries were nothing more than whispers
when fears were about fairytale monsters
and nothing in the world
that couldn't be handled
from inside the circle
of the parents' arms.

A life filled with dreams galore
and worries nay!
