Poetry

Back to Childhood

In the false fantasies
Of the wishes of wonderland
Children find comfort
Adults abandon
Their innocent imaginations
Letting dreams die
With gathering growth
The wispy and whimsical wither
Butterflies bleed their burdens
Lose their light-weight wings
Magic melts into memories
Time to tango again
Dance with the dandelions
Sing to sparkling stars
Whisper wishes to the same
And believe in the impossible
