Cherish It

Aamina

Intwined with innocence,

Sealed by a kiss of love,

Breathed into, blind to all violence,

Purer than a white dove,

And importantly defying silence,

Cherish it.

 

Never more had nature appealed,

As while flying through the mustard field,

Swinging around the tree,

And running from the wind so free,

Oh teasing the wind that we can't see,

Cherish it.

 

Camping under the wondrous stars,

Gasping wide-eyed at sweets in jars,

And drifting into siesta in the back seat of a car,

While bearing in mind that you're terrified of the dark,

Cherish it.

 

Now stuck up in business,

Of fists up in a brawl,

Enduring and bottling pain,

Whereas as a child you would bawl,

You remembered the days when you did that all,

When your biggest worry was a minor trip of fall,

Now your stress stretches far more tall,

And you can't in solace kick a football,

And you pass life as it becomes more complicated bit by bit,

So you whisper to yourself,

" I wish I cherished it".

    WELCOME ANTINODE ~ Thanks for your first Poem which took us from the Age of Innocence (0 to 16 ?) to the realities of the World of Work ! I can empathise (I'm 35 this Year) and I have been working (and studying) for 19 years ~ I'm an Applied Scientist and my preferences are Chemistry ~ Physics ~ Maths ~ Biology ~ Earth Sciences ~ Psychology in that order ~ OK ! I am engaged so my innocence and degrees of freedom are being eroded but I still enjoy some of the pleasures you describe in verses 1 to 3. How one copes in the "World of Work" depends on ones JOB (I Teach Applied Science in a College to 16+ Vocational Students) and ones COLLEAGUES (mine are excellent) so my experience is ~ life can be bearable ~ when you have to grow up and enter the "Real World" Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN MPS works by mutually reading and commenting on each others Poems ~ OK ~ B !
