"When I Was Beautiful"




when I was beautiful
I welcomed
accepted
embraced
every challenge

when I was beautiful
Every mountain seemed a mole-hill
every desert a sand box

when I was beautiful
Every rainbow was like ice cream
every raindrop like honey dew

when I was beautiful
Blue skies never ended
forever were the sunsets
fixed and extended

when I was beautiful
Thorns didn’t scratch
daisies grew bold
every song bird to hatch

when I was beautiful
Irrepressible my Spirit
needed no approval
I knew I was Whole

Then came distinctions
dissections
divides
Vacated my Beauty
insist I take sides

when I was beautiful
These colors none dread
black,white,yellow,red
Colors of candy & marbles I said
before lost virtues
and hate that was fed

when I was beautiful
Counted I one kiss for each mile
Now educated and worldly
contempt served with a smile

I remember being beautiful
barefooted and free
now stand I here
sophisticated poor me

Whose arbitrary ERROR was it to substitute
the inextinguishable "flame of child-likeness"
for the wilting decay of "act your own age"

To thrive again
to be alive again
Oh enchant my eyes
and unleash my heart again

To be whole again
debris free again
let me relapse
to beauty once more again

... When I was beautiful ...

Expression is a door leading outward, allow your inner child to follow, and be, even if only for a time, to remain forever, beautiful.
