Remember when:

[Sex The Drug]

Remember when:

You eyed a puddle as if it were a toy
Jumping in without a thought
Soaking spatter wringing wet
Smiles would overflow your face

Spinning in circles blasting to the moon
Only to crash to the earth
Dizzy joy over take’s your mind
Only to blast off again

Grassy fields of velvet
Rocks soar like mountains
Trees are stepladders to the sky
If you could only reach that first step

We wonder why they take so long
Time moves every so slowly
A minute is an hour, a day more like week
It takes time to take this in


Now remember when this was you!

Thank you for sharing.

I still love puddles!
I do remember.

thanks

Eyed the puddle as what kind of toy? A blue toy? A foot toy? Better than a soccer-ball?

Might I suggest "spiraling" to the moon? Unless you've got gunpowder in your heels - gunpowder heels might be an image worth considering, now that I think about it.

"Dizzy joy over take[’]s your mind"
- I know you already caught this, but just in case.
"Only to blast off again"
- I don't object to blasting off again, but the sequence causes the audience to read "joy" as the thing departing.

"Grassy fields of velvet"
- velvet is over-used.
"Rocks soar like mountains
Trees are stepladders to the sky"
- I really, really love these two lines. Especially "stepladders to the sky." Makes me think of Jacob's Ladder, and my own dreams of flight.

"If you could only reach that first step"
- stairs have steps, ladders have rungs. You name the type of ladder in the line before, and could use an alternative word to avoid the repetition.
- also, perhaps a change of syntax - "If [only you could] reach that first step"

I'm not sure that the last stanza adds to the poem. I think you've nailed the conclusion in three stanzas.
Thank you for a lovely poem.
