For My Son.

I saw the Child dreaming.

   His flowing features glowing.

The need to hold this Child's delicate face consumed me.

And whisper,

    *Take this rhyme and run-

       While you still can.

Somewhere cold and magical.

But don't forget this land.

     Your Heart is buried here

         -As-well as mine

Your mind has blossomed here.

These tears that formed you-

   So divine.

Shaped your apathy, as-well as your mind.

So don't forget this land.

   Or our buried Hearts

That cold Land was created for your depart.*

But alas the Child stay comatose.

   Awaiting the day the World would End.

Dreaming softly in his Bed.

No, I do NOT have a son.

But watching my nephew I have come to realize this is what I would want to tell mine.

Get out before you get hurt.

But considering the love for the child...you could never ask them to leave.
