An Age of Charmed Dreamers

‘Blessed I was to be young in an age of charmed dreamers.’

Childhood in suburbia wanting for nothing;
Kickball and flashlight tag ‘til dinner was set; 
Be home by the time the neighborhood’s lit. 
Painting the sky with the glow in our eyes no 
worries we were just free to be kids; 
Talking we always wished that we were older; 
What would be able to do? Whatever we imagined 
we could do. Rock, paper, scissors all ended
with a killer idea; Started from different sides 
but always met in the middle; 
No one’s tools or process was better than another, 
that was the magic of such innocent times. 
Staying gold until the sun set. 

Creating with fire;
Streetlight imaginations 
burn just like the stars.
