When everything was simple
And the world wasn’t as old
Things seemed bigger then
Now nothing is the same.
There was wonder in all I found
And once I learned my name
The streets became a playground
Where often on I played a game
Having found the remnants
Of the rain
I would stir its surface
Thereby bending reflections
That hurried by
With their world of tension
Traced in their eyes
They never noticed
The liquid patterns
I could make
With the remnants
Of the rain.
