Beside Imagination say Childhood <br />As the sun bowed down to Freedom's Moon. <br />They knew they could - and they would - <br />Endure the night of June. <br /> <br />Imagination smiled blissfully <br />Turned to Childhood and said - <br />'You are my cause - my life. <br />Without you I'd be dead.' <br /> <br />Childhood replied like light - <br />'Soon I'll be gone but you will stay. <br />Three months to live is what I have - <br />That's all I have - they say.' <br /> <br />The two friends sat in silence then <br />The wind brushed their straight faces <br />How could either know just when <br />Fate would take their places? <br /> <br />They wandered down the empty beach <br />Let the chilly water lick their feet <br />Darkness enveloped them each <br />On their way to their retreat. <br /> <br />They finally arrived at the end <br />As they stood by Age's grave <br />Joyfully they met their friend <br />Named 'Destiny' who would save <br /> <br />Them from living apart. <br />Imagination turned her youthful eyes <br />To Childhood and her soft heart. <br />They joined hands and got a blissful rise. <br /> <br />Together they'd live no matter what <br />Or how or why or when <br />They'd live together - breathe together <br />What Joy would join them then!<br /><br />Amy Marie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tale-of-imagination/
