Childlike and Childbright

Cool mint blue in a room full of black suits

Bright like a child's bedroom

On the trampoline, jumping high into the light blue

As far as dreams can take you

Pure white clouds always changing into something new

Colors bright when they said they'd fade

The lines never dulled, they're still sharp

Like blades of green grass on the lawn

Soaring over the sprinkler

Sliding down that blue tarp

Water flows and rainbows

Runnin' fast, soakin' wet

Laughin' hard, faces red

Hearts enlivened, so vibrant and

Vital...violet colors like blooming wildflowers

Run nonstop for a couple days, a few

Jump into the leaves

Fall into some orange hues

Trudge through some gray, some cold

And some dark blues

Wake up to showers

And a freshness like clear dew

On a misty, cloudy morning

White snow caps

Above the greener grass

Bright yellow peekin' through

I think I see you

The vision of the younger me is back in clear view

No more rear view

Close to Home, back to a free you, a healed you

Almost here, does it feel true?

It's bright, it's vibrant

So alive and beautiful

Can you see it through

All the colors of your youth?

Like a polaroid picture

A rediscovery of truth

The canvas here is pure

It's wide open and brand new
