And I Remember The Wild Things

 

 

As a child, I was gifted.

 

Free from the confines

of material limitations;

a feather in the breeze

where others only dreamed;

 

I walked howling among trolls,

became dragons and elves;

discovered secrets left hidden

beneath the spark of life’s harmony.

 

And I struggled to understand

the blindness surrounding me;

how they loved only fantasies:

impressions,

                    imprisoned by words;

 

until the Never Ending Story

escaped abandonment,

to mature my imagination

to concentrations more productive.

 

Chasing golden idols, a hero

intent on accomplishments;

lost of the understanding

once heart held without effort.

 

But there is no better definition

than forgiveness and mercy

for the magic that lives

and breathes within us all;

 

that here, as golden years

replace golden idols,

I find myself waiting

where others only dream.

    I have been gone waaaay too long. Your words are as musical notes, molten and dripping like golden rain... like bubbles tossed into the air, many-hued and floating to earth like a myriad of tiny jellyfish...

    Just beautiful, my friend.

    This is such a profound penning, my Friend. I especially enjoyed the ending...& I completely agree with you, as well. Thank you for entering my contest, Ken. Good luck, Sweetie. Wanda

    The magic world that we lived in with the dragons, elves and toadies as children hopefully will be waiting for us all in our golden years..I hope so...I want to live there.

      yes, Me too
      though to be honest, aside from drifting now and again, I think I have always lived there. If I was "one of the lost boys" I would have never gone home.
