Dreams from long ago returning
My mind once again drifting
Lost in the realm of my imagination
Only limit being that of my own creativity
In this world there are no limits
Surpassing the laws of space and time
Traveling to lands far, far away
With people of all different shapes and sizes
Here I am whoever I want to be...
A knight in shinning armor
A superhero with incredible powers
A space traveler exploring the galaxy
Living in my own world that I’ve created
A world that I control, that I decide everything
This is the world of my imagination... of my childhood
Long ago I left this world, but often my mind wanders back
Author notes
"The biggest problem with growing old is that we limit our imagination to what we can see." --Sharcu
That's a quote I came up with a couple of months ago. I still yearn for that old, childhood like imagination. I remember the hours I spent in my basement pretending to be in distant places and pretending to be someone else.

Yes I heard you read this to me and still the same result of loving it. It's funny how when you tend to "grow up" you forget about the times when you were little and had fun just imagining something that you wanted. Sad really that it goes away in most people. Hopefully now that I recognize it will come back to me if I allow it to. I'm sick of not having fun with my mind.
Great write dear, really awoke me to something I left behind but have to turn back to receive again. 
*God Bless*

the imagination is the one thing many of us loose but many hold onto tightly as i do with this part of us we can hide away from our harsher realitys at times, lovley sweet and warm read, full of the childish notions we wish to have again, fresh write with a different feel to it good

I like your use of statements. I especially like your first line. This is perfectly fine for the contest and thank you for entering! I very much enjoyed this piece.

Its okay to travel back in time to remember cherished memories from our childhood. These memories need to be shared with generations to come. Problem is, as we grow older our memory gets a little weaker and we forget. So hold on to those memories for as long as you can! Or, if you are like me, write them down in a journal! Hah, then you have a written record. Our imaginations are a great gift from God!
