Young Again

I yearn to tumble through the grass,
feeling the dirt on my face,
and seeing the world spin in a new direction.

I yearn to see through youthful eyes,
forgiving and excited,
crinkling at the bright sun.

I yearn to stare across the water,
wearing a silly yellow hat
because someone once lent it to me.

I yearn to feel young again,
when I had an unbreaking spirit,
and dreams of soaring through life
with feathered wings.
