When as a child
where did dreams with you fly?
did you ride dragons
were you a double agent spy?
*
Did the Orient Express
carry you in style?
were you philosophic
pondering life all the while
*
Did your nose always
end in books
where you followed wizards
hobbits with the name of Took?
*
Would you see the world
from outer space
or march to a drum beat
always in place?
*
Over electron microscope
did you faithfully stand
peering beneath cells
the smallest though very grand?
*
No matter the consonant
or silent vowel
the dreams you dreamed
awakened in willowed hollow
*
The life you lived
is who you’d be
time to dream again
try it you’ll see
The wordpress daily post writing prompt for today is Future’s Past.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? How close or far are you from that vision?
Well honestly I haven’t stopped dreaming yet.

The endless wonder behind a child’s eyes, you truly placed it into your words! 🙂
