Broken Fences

Torn and tattered leaning in disrepair up on tiptoes little eyes want to know lost with flying forms of trepidation hiding memories one cant let go Hand painted soldiers with drips of white once straight arrows pointed to the sky plastic suitcases meticulously strewn about cloistered chickweed climb making daffodils cry Stone crumbles under small weathered frowns dreams of the next Simone laid to rest tall grass softens another fateful fall escaping a sharpened prowess put to the test Sights plighted a place most aristocracy fear but bubble gum giggles are often heard the dirt and dust so easily brushed off a fortress full of fantasy in world that's blurred

Cemetery? Just a guess. Took me on quite a journey complete with sound track.

This is a series of memories, slowly fading in the years of devastation to follow, but still lingering. That memory of mine of my sister and I dressing up, I kept it in my heart all the years of misery, and it shines. This is different and far far more profound. It's beautiful

Stark images, Tim. Another deep one from you. A little too deep for me but I can really get a picture of sadness where laughter too can be heard.

Tim, this was very deep, the thoughts this creates are all over the board. I smiled and I sighed, frowned and almost cried. I see this through a child's eyes, this fence, though broken, for now keeps the darkness of the world out and the fantasy world of imagination intact. I hope I got that right.
