Hazy memories of childhood
Haunt me in my dreams
Of uninhibited laughter
Running in fields green

Barefoot on the grass
Sitting in circles round
Whispering in giggles
Tiptoeing to make no sound

Broken toys and violent tears
Comfort in Papa’s arms
Mamma’s sweet smile
Learning how to dance

A tune in my head
Plays again and again
Where have I heard it before
My past that I try to grasp in vain?
