Where songs and love
And carefree spirit reigned.
Where pencils and paper
Would be enough.
Where waiting
Wouldn't be a death.
Where worlds
Could be shades of darkness.
Where hearts and minds
Were valued above.
Where sound
Was not a burden.
Where effort
Was plentiful and helpful.
Where easier
Wasn't always better.
Where days weren't
Wasted away.
Where creativity
Was something useful.
Where magic
Was something different.
That's where I want to be.
Why is that not now?
