dear hippie days ๐ฎ๐บ๐ธ
when freedom brought us trouble doubled, and kept us high on life

dear hippie days ๐บ๐ธ
how are you my dear old friend
it sure has been a while
i just want to say that
we are in dire need of another floral rejuvenation
it matters not when you were born ๐ท
to fully appreciate that past freedom flower generation
we need another freedom days revolution
i miss the quiet languishing feel of the days ๐ท
when we never felt like punctuating anything
there were no full stops, commas or blocked up quotes
when we hugged trees to our hearts delight
slept naked upon the blushing grass ๐ฎ๐บ๐ธ
and oh yes smoking much of that other grass
so cool, so groovy
we felt the pleasing harmonic movements of the earth
the sun shone kinder then too, i do declare ๐บ๐ธ
the cleansing rain washed our cares away
and life flowed like a river free of earthly cares
music, poetry and free verse danced upon the wind ๐บ๐ธ
remember the flowery bell bottom jeans and such things

the revealing cooling tank and bikini tops
the platform shoes sure made our backs hurt ๐ท
but who cared they made us look cool

lets not forget our trusty VW Bugs and Vans
they at least deserve some capital letters
there were a lot more trees back then
the air was fresher and sweeter to the taste
please come back i miss you so
well maybe not the platform shoes ๐ท
my brain is bogged down with todays worry
if you could please stop by for a little while
i sure would appreciate the kindness
the opportunity to feel free and unencumbered again
i eagerly await your return ๐ท
writing while high
my dear hippie days
forever yours
flower child
