Clock of Youth

Toy soldiers align in formations

Where generals command their fleets to vanish

Into the depths of time

Amidst rectangular caverns of sand

 

Villages of gingerbread decay

Leaving behind many half-broken smiles.

 

Ornamented plush friends mozy along the meadows of one’s mind

Finding dreams that were once read,

While snowmen slowly melt away

Becoming dried up memories

That remind us of what was once

 

Upon completing level ten

All has come to a cease

 

A tear at last
