Those Days They Were Restless and Free
His mind could clearly see
Poem Ballade Form (Chanson)
The years had made him much older
And things were just not the same
He complained that it’s getting still colder
And could not remember her name
There was no one she would blame
His mind could just now see
Ever so clearly the old days
Those days they were restless and free.
His eyes would flash up and wander
So far he might lose his way
For hours and hours re-tell her
The same stories twice each day
In almost the very same way
He would talk up a rousing blue streak
When they were young and life set ablaze
Those days they were restless and free.
He would never have wanted to hurt her
She was the love of his life always
The worlds they both had discovered
He so cheerfully replayed
Adventures were new for each day
He would look in her eyes and plea
Could he run and sweep her away
To those days they were restless and free.
She cupped her hands soft around his face
And whispered “Soon we might see
We can secretly plan our escape!”
Those days, they were restless and free.
