Forgotten Dreams

remember when the playground slept in dreams that seldom smiled the merry-goes and seesaws wept~ few truths were reconciled yet still, the empty swings bade lonely hearts to sit all wet from early morning dew and tears from wasted wishes there was no one to push the swing and laugh at tethered flight~ we stretched our legs, a song to sing to snapping wind and kites what raucous silence joined the din and danced its dizzy spell as twilight curtains drew their shade upon the waning stage I begged my slumber to be still imagination tossed~ but dreams will tarry on until their memory is lost
