Into the never
The child’s imagination strays
Chasing the shadows
That always go away
Drifting through the closet realms
In and out of the grey
Trying to be the predator
Instead of the prey
Armed only with fear
To keep them at bay
He falls into the sleep
Where
shadows
always
slay.
SHHhhhhhh…….
Imagination is something so powerful. It can help us conquer our fears, or on the contrary, it makes shadows and monsters appear bigger and invincible, causing us to run and hide. And true, those shadows and monsters seem even more terrifying in our dreams.
Brilliant poem, again.
Thank you! I am lucky enough to see imagination in action through my grandkids. It truly amazing to watch and listen to them explain what is going on in their little brsins.
