matchbox

As a kid i use to sing,

through the summers and  autumns  and wonderous springs,

for the days to which we care,

when everyone was thinking to share,

as a prayer would split the sun,

and the the children would wish to run,

for the fairest would take the night,

as the visionary would curse his sight,

for i am just a man,

a prisoner taken from his land,

an together we shall take our stand,

for at once the trumpets will unfold,

as erect as a warrior so bold,

for my body has felt so cold,

and within it, the matchbox shall embrace and hold.

    Demarice, I enjoyed your youth, and singing. A deep image when it came to the prayer that split the sun in your verse... good embracing ending...LINDA
