Find your way home through the tall grasses
As the soft noon sun is devoured by clouds
Make your way, little one, over paths only you can see
Speak softly to creatures that are beyond human sight
And they'll spin about you and sing you sweet lullabyes
Of far off places where great birds wing across bejeweled skies
Never stray from your path of make-believe, little one
Or your way will become dark and dreary
Stay in your world of dreams for as long as you can
Where magic will protect you
For soon reality will call and Life will pull you to become and adult
But keep one eye on your dreams
And never forget the magic you once had
Till then, live in make believe
Lift your feet high in your own dance
Till the long path is traveled and you find yourself home.

this poem is so beautiful...and the fact that it was inspired by my humble photography really moved me. but even without that, it was such a beautiful read, and i teared up by the end of it~~~
at the risk of sounding cheesy, it felt like you were speaking right to my soul: i too am afraid of "growing up", as time goes on and I find myself turning 24 soon, and I don't want to lose the magic and innocence of childhood and being childlike in viewing the world.
Thank you so, so, so much.
Yeah, growing up is terrifying. I'm almost 18 and I'll be graduating from high school in the spring so recently I find that I'm trying more and more to hold on to things I liked when I was a little kid. My mom instilled a firm belief in magic in me from when I was very small, so that helps!
I'm glad you liked it!
