Where is the sense of awe and wonder?
That came from innocent youthful eyes
Mesmerised by the small twinkling stars
Each disappearing by the sunrise
A moon that waxed full and round each month
In the distant sky that seemed so near
Mysteriously engaged by its presence
Changing in form each night of the year
The beauty of its reflection upon
The calm waters of the deep blue sea
With all its lively ripples sparkling
A gentle hypnosis entrancing me
An ocean full of life, another world
What lay in its depth I would ponder?
Terror, darkness and killer monsters
Amongst a life of beauty and colour
My curious mind escaped in daydreams
The world was exciting to explore
One adventure after another
New discoveries beckoned me more
The universe forever expanded
From the depths of my comfort zone
I experienced life and began to wonder
On my own I felt never alone
Ages have passed since my journey began
With life continually unravelling
A long exciting, sometimes weary passage
I now yearn to come home from my travelling
