In the cool dark of morning
We’d sit on the floor
Wishing ourselves to a distant place
Watching the shadows as they moved.
I was only five but I recall
A rainbow on the floor that shaped the silhouette
Of a trader, carrying goods on a wagon
In a far off land
How I wished we were there
But we were there
For those three minutes the sun allowed
The illusion
To penetrate my senses
When dreams die upon entering
I know I’m growing older
Slower
Less imaginative
And tired
Strained for hope
I walk amidst the trees
Feel the ground beneath me
And taste the air around me
I am free
