Reminisce

For @leelee101

A curled up ball of yarn,
Sinking in my chest,
Time for a reminisce,
Of everything that's best,

The fearless climbs of youth,
Perched up in the highest tree,
A treasured, perfect spot,
Just reserved for me,

Dream-filled sleep,
When magic is real,
For a single little kiss,
Made any wound heal,

Exciting new lands,
Dragons, fairies and elves,
Projected out to all,
Not just kept to ourselves,

How tears and laughter,
Could tumble together,
A change as swift,
As wind on a feather,

A hug means everything,
Just held close, not far,
A whisper from mum,
"You're my little star,"

Pull me back to the present,
Just cast out that rope,
But nothing's really changed,
Or that's what I hope.
