When was the last time...

When was the last time you dusted the cobwebbed corners of your mind,
When was the last time you plucked stray dreams from under your eyes,
When was the last time you stepped in a puddle or danced on the breeze,
When was the last time you reached out to paint the sky,
When was the last time you held someone you love really tight,
When was the last time you woke up to the smell of being alive,
When was the last time you shared a stranger's wistful smile,
When was the last time you filled your lungs with a cold winter's night,
When was the last time you laughed so hard that you still have the laugh lines,
When was the last time you pitched a tent under clear starry skies,
When was the last time you looked at the world with curious eyes,
When was the last time you travelled beyond your boundaries,
When was the last time you dropped your inhibitions like a child,
When was the last time you looked for simple treasures swallowed by a sofa,
When was the last time you shared a parent's hot cup of nostalgia,
When was the last time you met yourself like it’s for the first time?
Isn’t it time you renewed your acquaintance with you?
