A Brothers White Production Skipping through the tall dry grass memories of childhood flood back the summer of youth a distant cry as mudlarks face an early sun On my back in the grass, as I read stories of kings and knights wind caresses my hair, whispers an almost forgotten song Dragonflies circle above in the sky mesmerised by their flight I am transported far back in time lost in these pages I now breathe And I am a boy again, plastic helmet cardboard sword; brave and strong we run around fighting each other and invisible low-life enemies Dragons appear in front and rear Swooping down breathing fire about But they are no match for us as we slay them one by one Those days, where grass was our universe where friendship lasted a lifetime and we would forever stay young -deep in our hearts we always will be- *** August 16, 2017 Copyright © White Wolf and Darren White

How wonderful is the imagination of a child, naïve, innocent, and the power to slay any dragon. Thank you both for taking us back to the days when we could only imagine...

Wonderfully whimsical and charming write, that brought me far back to my childhood, pretending to be Sir Lancelot, Captain Kirk, Illya Kuryakin, John Glenn ... really enjoyed this, Darren & Budgie - keep up the great work!
