To Play
To play for so long
the world was wide and new,
with shoelace swords and capes from sheets,
and skies that shifted blue.
To play with pockets full of stones,
and dreams that didn’t end,
where every stick could be a sword,
and every foe a friend.
To play for so long
that bedtime felt unfair,
but whispered tales beneath the sheets
made magic fill the air.
I miss the dirt beneath my nails,
the suns that never set—
the years ran off without a sound,
and I’m not done just yet.
Feeling nostalgic I suppose
