I was big there, for a while.
Open, wide, engaged, and engaging.
Enjoying life's richness
like a creamy pavlova.
Now I must fall back.
I am not really big enough
for the weight
of your expectations.
Become small again.
Not expecting much,
and tasting only the crumbs
as I find them.
Time to put the big toys away
and go back to being little.
Little needs, little hopes, little wants, little life.
Dreams are for dreamers.
