A missing person of no return.

Within the man was a child,
but....
was he lost, to be found?
Is he alive or presumed dead?
Was he smart now a fool?
Once so young, grown old;
forced to grow, never to play.
Living the belief disbelieving
that time stole too soon.

At a point of no return.

One of the great things of being old. You can be childish with your grandchildren and everyone says "Aah, how lovely!!"

Tis said that a man is only a little boy 'growed' up!

Seems adulthood makes us behave with wretched decorum, never daring to jump in puddles or swing on swings at a play park. Why even draw a line of no return.. just be, says me of your wonderfully laid thoughts!

haha yes there's a lot to be said about maturity, immaturity seems more fun.

There should be an annual list put out, what to do in times of stress:

Go jump in a puddle
Eat two ice.creams at once
Lick the last of a bowl of..
etc.
please add your own childish needs..

[emmajoy]

[andrew mitchell]

As long as you don't harm others or self.. do what makes you smile, laugh.. see and feel the fun in life. These days we need make joy cos it sure as heck if hard to find otherwise.
