Child Eternity Seedbed clouds above his head Like tufts of a feather bed. Leisurely pace float in grace Fill the blue above his face. Distilled in the mornings chill From drifting winds of freedoms will. Dancing o'er the country side Play hid and seek and collide. He loves the magic shapes go by The manifest of timeless sky The changing face of endless drape Sorceries continuous shape. Illusions bearing dreams in guile Misconceptions conveyed to wile. Materials to build in air Those fantasies of mental dare. The child builds forever new Eternity into view. |

Illusions bearing dreams in guile Misconceptions conveyed to wile. Materials to build in air Those fantasies of mental dare. The child builds forever new Eternity into view. One of my favourite books is "the little prince" and your poem brought back memories of the book and left me the same warm innocent feeling. I think every so often we should just let our inner childs run free. Wonderful poem. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Seymour.... Some of us never outgrow our wonder when we look up into the sky, and we still try to see eternity. This was a beautiful write, and I certainly enjoyed it through my child eyes!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Seymour~ The vastness of the sky is a canvas upon which we, as children, float our fantasies ... Beautifully painted, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

...and when we grow up, we're criticized for having our heads in the clouds. Go figure. I like the way your clouds constructed this one, Sy |
