Let us lay down
on a bed of timothy grass
Play away our day
til' the sun rises again
You ask, what is the sun?
A ball between our fingers
bounced away as we blinked
A scorching little flower
bloomed to flare our wings
Across the river
woods of evergreen
In there, you used to
not run, not walk, but fly
with your fledgling wings
thus into the shades
Across the river
To walk under the sun,
you walk with your feet
like anyone else
you’ll learn to blend in
You ask, why you had to leave
“As the world under the sun
is no better than this”
But...
you see, the woods are silent
you see, the world is too
Silly, you are, for asking
no one can answer you
But silly,
you can
leave here as you leave,
a little scrap of thee
True, innocent, simple,
One that is pristine
Cradle it in my arms
adorn it with flower buds
pray it stays the same
will neither grow nor wane
Goodbye, goodbye
now we must be parted
My friend, my dear,
please stay young and loving

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening FRIEND - Welcome to MPS - it is a proactive site which functions by reading & commenting on each other poems. Please check our site I am Brians Fiancee ! I loved your first poem - it is beautifully written and spaced *free verse* happy but with sad undertones.
Reading between the lines it suggests that you have lost *someone* who is both Young and a Dear Friend (final verse). I have read & reread the Poem but it still remains an (intended ?) enigma !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 💛💛💛
Nature#'s world is a wonderful place and I am sure your friend will be forever young and loving.
