Once Upon A Time...there was you
I’ll never forget this one evening while growing up...
I was out playing with my friends all day ( they were mostly boys ).
We spent the entire day on our bikes riding through the woods, making little paths in the forest, coming up with back stories about the invisible bad guys who were after us.
We fake fought, pretended that sticks were cigarettes, threw dirt at one another and only took brakes to run in and grab hand fulls of Doritos or snuck out fruit roll ups so the parents wouldn’t see us.
We gambled with gum while playing cards in the stick forts we would build,only to randomly stop and have a ‘sword’ fight with the sticks we carved with the pocket knives we hid in boxes underneath the porch.
That day the sun was setting, I got on my bike... drove as fast as I could home.
I still remember how the wind felt as it made its way up threw the sleeves of my older brothers shirt I was wearing.
I remember that feeling because I felt so free.
Chewing my bubble gum, dirt under my fingernails, a fruit roll up in my pocket for dessert...
Life felt good.
That night I got home, pulled up to my grandmas house - ran inside and washed my hands.
I ran up to my grandma and gave her the biggest hug and kiss.
I sat down and had dinner with her.
I felt so loved. So held.
After dinner I sat in the tv room with her and watched I love Lucy replays...
After,
I went in the kitchen, grabbed scissors, grabbed a mason jar and poked some holes in it.
I went outside and started to catch fire flies. I caught so many that night.
At one point the jar was full... it was so cool.
I was standing outside looking up at the full moon when I put the jar down next to me and slowly opened it to set them free...
I danced and twirled around...
Just me,
the light from these magical creatures,
and the magic from the enchanted moon...
I was me.
... i was free.
Tomorrow....
I will stand outside
And,
dance with the light of spirit & magic under that enchanted moon.
Because, finally I have remembered...
I am me.
I am free, again.
Once Upon A Time, there was you, Cass.
Remember little you now.
I Love You Always & Forever,
Cass
