Notes About The Poem
Written for Robert James Liquori's Deep Purple contest. The poem is written inspired by the Deep Purple song, Child in Time.
Child in Time
In the tribulations of time,
our childhood swiftly becomes adulthood.
Fragile innocent souls, collecting memories,
woven by the threads of fate's design,
wandering through this labyrinth we call life.
With eyes wide open we gaze in wonder,
exploring the world upon uncharted paths.
In each moment there's a lesson we uncover.
Creating friendships to nourish our souls.
We dance through fields of diverse petals,
breathing among aromatic jasmine air.
Our laughter is a melody for tomorrow.
A symphony of joy, pure and unique.
But time is relentless and marches on,
as childhood's innocence, like sunset,
begins to fade, as adversity brings trials,
yet still we find the courage to bravely carry on.
Through human interaction our minds expand,
facing the winds of change, as destiny calls.
But deep within that child's internal glow,
a spark of hope softly continues to kindle.
Although we may age with or without grace.
Within our heart, remains that child in time.
Our beacon of light with a spirit of desire.
Guiding us through life's endless climb.
