sweet essence

March '05

I smell the sweet fragrance of my happy days,
     the sweet scent of the sun, of rain, and of green grasses,
     the delightful aroma of pines in the woods, of wild berries, 
     of pretty flowers and fresh fruits...

The scents of these bring me back to yesteryear's,
     when the world was still young,
     when all I did was having fun,
     and everything I need was just under the sun,
     when happiness and splendid things are in my hands...

Now, those days are gone,
     and all these scents,
     are only in my mind...
