When I Was a Boy

I felt so much bigger when I was a boy...

Author's Note

I felt so much bigger when I was a boy
Or the world seemed smaller perhaps
Dreams on pages of fabricated light
Creating such vast wild worlds
Making magic from mundane
Limitless lost landscapes

WONDERLANDS

Now lives a heaviness
With harsh tangled paths
Lost in the labyrinth of life
Complex complexities crying
Options grow smaller in grey strands
There is no returning to the
Wonderlands

Time and age creates a type of amnesia yet - never cures entirely. Such is your eternal experience and what has been laid in the past, Owl. That labyrinth of life can lock you, keep you in a place where life can seem far less than was. YET, the need for flying with past thoughts and finding other things, other choices is there.. if you want them to be. The Wonderlands need you, would offer you remedies. Perhaps. Why not

Thank you so much for this kindness... truly... to see these worlds as yet accessible... there is a hope for that... finding the pathway again... flying again... and maybe... one day... it might open again. That would be wondrous for sure!

It's how it should be. Life is far too short to go to bed and regret waking up the next morning. Waving.

WOW! This is such an emotional read.
It's weird how we change as we get older. I'm not sure if we grow wiser or just more fond of what we have left of ourselves. We treasure memories more than living our life. This is a wonderful heartfelt piece.

Many, many thank yous for your thoughtful and understanding words. Yes definitely, aging does have its advantages, we learn to take life as it comes then walk another path - at times!!! n

Oh yes the difference between innocents and adult life are so different. How I wish I could torn back time.
