beginners mind

many years


many years
 many moons
ago
maybe not
so
 long ago
and far away
those days of sunshine
 those days of sliding and surfing and skating
late nights
and something else entirely now
even though those days still live in the albums, the tapes,
the shapes of all the memories
the hearts left on shelves
and wedding bells still sound
in the hallways
the kitchens
of creations
the new generations
coming up
coming back to the basics
the simple things
of beginners mind
finally
 playing with the earth
again
purely
laughing
