Описание

In this land In a corner of mind Where a child once played Now in ruins a cemetery lays here each headstone marks the passage of time when an eerie wind chimes names of fallen heroes damsels to rescue villains to vanquish and dragons to abolish in this land now lay remnants in a battlefield made of dried clay of a war long since lost fallen soldiers of tin looking for their limbs ravaged dolls ragged and tattered all broken toy trucks eaten by rust all victims of times ravages here never one’s foot this way frays where lies dreams and fears of a child long gone in this land once green and lush now filled with decay lies the ruins of imaginary play where no room exists but for work and pay here lays traces of the passage of adulthood over childhood on the way to the grave in this land once magical now trampled over with rational and logical lies the fantasies that once in a while revive and visits in dreams quickly forgotten the next day here traveler beware lies the remains of lost innocence growing pains and cowardly courage to face the onslaught of life that each day claims the soul of a child long gone in this land Valley of shadows and crows here be dragons that haunt to this very day a child now grown that no one but me remembers and mourns © ® All rights reserved 1/8/2005 Ronberge (anno primo) poemhunter.com/poem/here-be-dragons/
