Imagination's child

By Pat G

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Still molding castles in the sand creating things that will not stand the moody test of wind and tide - imagination's justified. And so it is that I decline to leave my inner child behind Each moment that my mem'ry stores of whimsy days on sandy shores is edifice to grander things - a flight of poems, a spread of wings. So, as my years grow shorter and the magic stays in seashore sand, the mix of it and goss'mer wings cements a base where bells will ring. Announcing life that has full ride that is not lost to wind or tide it's centered round an inner child still sifting sand and molding smiles Written November 25th, 2001 © on Nov 25 2001 07:12 AM PST, Pat Grantt   0 • 10
