Eternal youth locked away kept like magic
The boy who would never grow up
Life seems to stop for some.
Can you remember that one time?
When I was little. . .
There was you with flowing blonde strands
Standing there on the pier tasting sweet creme.
The wind was blowing oh the perfect day.
I had a feeling deep inside
Like time was frozen in the moment.
The shutter had locked in place and forever we were young.
A moment in time we were perfect.
The world had changed as the skies turned away from grey.
I told you I loved you.
You giggled that sweet laugh.
Within your bottle water would always stay cold.
Locked away in that magic of youth.
Laying out on the warm sand the world was just us two.
How you were mine, and I were yours.
It was love of two friends inseparable.
Until that fateful day when all that was left
That little green bottle.
Where we locked our hearts away.
I swore on that dark dark day.
With hues of sadness my brush sweeps across the canvas
Perfect youth immortalized.
There was the bottle with sweet waters magic of life.

Author's Comments

Tales of healing waters date to at least the time of the Alexander Romance, and were popular right up to the European Age of Exploration. The later legend derives from the "Water of Life" tale in the Eastern versions of the Alexander Romance, where Alexander and his servant cross the Land of Darkness to find the restorative spring. The servant in that story is in turn derived from Middle Eastern legends of Al-Khidr, a sage who appears also in the Qur'an. Arabic and Aljamiado versions of the Alexander Romance were very popular in Spain during and after the period of Moorish rule, and would have been known to the explorers who journeyed to America.

If you feel lost, if you feel lost...sing along.
If you feel tired, if you feel tired...sing along.

And if you feel lost & tired, this is your song...

Now I have been educated and entertained. I very much like this poem, though it is very sad. It all flows really well, which is a thing for me ;)
