Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

Burning: a Childhood Memory

Burning 
bright into the Infinite
a childhood memory
Stretching out into infinity  
race to green lands 
the planes of childhood 
following nothing 
riding to the edge 
before me floats the illusions 
of the past the image of youth 
chasing the kite high 
into the noonday air 
feeling the winds rushing to Horizons rim 
One clear sunny day 
all exploding light burning 
out of site 
the wind tumbles of leaves 
grass tilts in breezes 
in emerald waves 
the burning out in white the soft edges 
of vision stretching out 
into the endless space 
rage the green plains 
of youth reaching out to grasp 
nothing chasing the kite 
following the running dog 
the burning out of light 
burning bright fading into a pale night 
cool indigo hues runs 
the fields of yesterday 
the fields of play 
the fields a fade 
burning out in the blazing light 
rays the youth spent running the green fields 
to the Infinite Horizons is in Chase 
The passing days bleed into Yesterdays
