Resplendent Child

Childhood lost, steered down the wrong path.

Alone in thought
enduring karma's retribution
apethetic transgressions
reincarnated into shame

Battled through rough seas
with a broken compass
but wayward navigation
sank a vulnerable ship

OH! Resplendent child
heart of treasures
stolen too soon
where did you go?

"I'm here...."

Tucked away somewhere
in an isolated bed
waiting to be awoken
this little boy from his slumber.

Christian. I am amazed. The title really intrigued me, but the poem itself was brilliant. Life is a constant battle and we are given choices constantly. Right or wrong, they are now the paths we walk. I adore this piece. Keep up the amazing work! (:

You remind me of a boy I used to know from my early writing days...they are always tucked away you know....in the reaches...behind the curtains...in the attic and basements...it's safer there. Superb write.

[Chris Micha]

Yes they are and we lose hope of ever finding them again. Thank you! :)

[lost girl]

it's okay ...they sleep under your pillow or in your beside drawer...they are never far I promise!

Wow...truly touching and deep words, I especially liked the second and last stanzas. You are right we are meant to go through pain only to re-awaken the child in us. Inspiring.
