momma always used to laugh at me
when I was a boy talking
to dragons in the sky
but never to dogs that wagged

said I was a strange boy then
talking to things that were not real
and just petting the important
but never getting close to them

momma always used to laugh at me
when I was a man taking
to highways beside oceans
but never to lovers that smiled

said I was a strange boy then
talking to things that were not real
and just petting the important
but never getting close to them

and now momma says she talks to god

You are not suggesting that there is reason to laugh at Momma, are you? With age comes wisdom, dear D.! Talking to God is a sign of deep awareness/awakening in my opinion. And I think Momma wouldn't laugh anymore at you now for talking to dragons.
Highways too can be spiritual when the mind soars along with the motor! I get the impression that meanwhile you have learned to appreciate love too. Proof your awesome poetry.
In this very stirring poem you are talking about god ... but before long you might talk to him and discover how REAL he actually is ... and you might get real close then!

oh, and I love the strange boy you reveal here ...

Love,
Margherita

Talk to dragons and highways and lovers and dogs, listen to Momma and oceans and God, never silence your pen on the page and continue to dance to a different tune... why? because you can.
Much enjoyed the read.

Regards

Ms mar, thanks for the read.  Momma talks to god because she is with him (I guess) and dogs always thought we were dragons that lived forever even though they were only momentary friends and only knew a panting instant of our years. Highways are the only curves that have danger signs clearly posted and slowing down with them is safe to do most of the time.

You mean to say, even as a little boy you were strange??
I get it now!!

Some things never change, and I'm glad you're one of them.

hugs and lovies, Mr. Mosey~

nice but if you don't mind me saying
the fourth stanza may not be necessary.

I thought we were all strange (I would be disappointed if I wasn't)
And, as for the fourth stanza being unnecessary, it sets up the last line perfectly - the coup de grace.
