Oh, baby...you are good. I wish I had half o' that goodness. :-)
This little introduction is kind of comical for me in a way. It's got a hint of sarcasm in there, but I could imagine seeing that posted in all seriousness of intention.
My uncle used to tell me when I was little that I things I wrote or thought about writing had been written already. That it was already someone's "know", someone's story and that all the things we poets and writers ever produced was an compilation of things our ancestors and predecessors and fellows already wrote.
I really like it. Let me go read the others now.

Incredibly it was not long ago our souls wandered innocent through time. Shape-shifting from one dream to the next until someone said it was time to grow up. But then, no peremptory order could ever childhood fantasies suppress with mere decree. Your poem elicits all those memories to pierce the barriers of years. Thank you, manuel.

it was so small a thing once being young
for all of life was rounded with love's laugh
each care was but a wrinkle in mom's face
each worry but a white strand on dad's hair
snowfall could come and just as freely go
blown leaves were joys of freedom floating by
each day was filled with being warm and loved
each night was but a dream of lullabies
then without realizing roles reversed
we care and nurture for life's new formed links
each moment brief a dewdrop in morn's sun
each smile of happiness a treasure sweet

It was not long ago my daughters traipsed around like this; and, yet it was so long ago, that your words revived those happy images of innocent beauty without pretense. The impressionistic brushes in this poem, rather than blurring the picture of a child's joy, amplifies and intensifies it. m

Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. You are right about the sentence, but I gave up a while back on revising/editing previous posts.
I like this piece for I believe we all share so much in a "telepathic" manner. Perhaps it's culture or it's ambience or it's Zeitgeist: call it what you will, there's a lot that gets transmitted in many strange ways and we all believe in or think about. m
