I Was Once A Child So Young

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

I was once a child so young
With fantasies in my mind
Like flowers from seeds do sprung
Each memory left behind

Like air that is busting to sky
To float with a cloudy mist
Or a brook in its flowing nearby
That earth has wandered and kissed

I look now and find memories
Of so much that life has given
The inside the heart only sees
And you through times have liven

There is so much far and wide
In songs of my singing that call
With moments for a while to abide
Like leaves in their beautiful of fall

My dreams have been pleasantry thing
With so much a child can do
They infinitely to me now sing
And some of them I interpret to you

A love song to fly in the blue
And wander away in youth’s countryside
To give of a young heart so true
In a merry-go-round childhood’s ride

Incredible work is just gorgeous! This work is very strong, but at the same time very simple and sensitive!

Each of us had a favorite childhood place, which had a special feeling side. Therefore, as see in this picture, can easily empathize with it and go back to the childhood. Close to the moment I am blown back in time and stand beside the tree. It is an early summer morning, still very cool and humid air. The sun is already behind the increases, although still visible mist that creates a magical atmosphere.

Beautiful composition! Strong and very dark front side, which is emphasizing perspective. Interesting light that shines through the leaves the tree is the rights treat to watch. Also, the background is very beautiful and worked well with the front. Light just like a bind them together!

Very wonderful piece of art, well done and thank you for this wonderful dream!

Such an amazing piece of work! It has a wonderful message to it (that is included in the title of course) on how we would all wish to go back to our own childhood, I know this from experience with swings.

Now on HOW the photo was taken: the mist in the background was a good add to make it seem more mysterious and dark in a way. the light shining across the outline of the tree adds to the calm, yet some what intense atmosphere, and I do not know if the photo is black or white, or just drained in saturation, but whatever you did to it finishes the piece off very nicely.

I usually won' give out all five stars in a critique, but I felt a special connection to the shot, and it's so nicely taken

so please, amazing job, have a nice day!

So many feelings envelop this piece, even at a single glance...although, I must admit I took many, many more.

This amazing piece has been featured here.

wow...it's beautiful

Rejuvenated by the mists of the past. The spirits of yesterday's children can be found at every abandoned swing. The grey frostiness of the image creates beautiful atmosphere. Love this.

Hello. I used this picture as a reference and landscape study, I hope it's okay. I tried to recreate the piece digitally with my own style added to it ~ [link]
