Childhood walks in the deepness that we lived in

Kept us living present in a peacefulness like Zen

Luminescence peered down through the leaves

Seemingly wafted along on the chill of the breeze

In these secret gardens in which we built our forts

Built through shared love and rarely if ever force

We spent endless hours caught in our secret talks

Laughing at things lost and found on our walks

I learned the ways of life caught up in your eyes

Some things on purpose and some quite by surprise

Who knew that we were only passing ships

We celebrated then the essence of our friendships

These are the times that I find I treasure most

As I sit here quietly reminiscing with your ghost
