Sweet child, within you, sparrows sing blooms
Each day like protocoled steps will lead you
Down Heaven’s aisle of tapping awe and cool
I used to dream in the world in my head,
let my imagination take flight as the buildings went by.
I could dream up wild elephants from Africa, or starships from space
Dear Childhood,
I miss when I was with you-
Wide eyed and innocent, ready to conquer the world
with my imagination as my partner
and the rocket ship I was sure to have once
There is a dark place in my mind
it gets smaller all the time.
Days go by, and I think: Maybe,
someday far away
that place will grow again.
But then I see a stranger smile.
