Description
"I entered gates opened wide
To journey to a well"
"Where wishes are granted endlessly
As long as I don't tell"
"And wished for things grand and new
To bring back home to you"
A teddy bear and bubble gum
A broken string from a toy gone
A little shoe and blue socks
Left dangling from a cardboard box
And hid inside in quiet slumber
Still in dreams and off to wander
Where are you now my boy?
Where is your journey taken?
Off to find me peace of mind
Or is my wish mistaken?
"I've found a clear stream
Along an old forgotten road"
"I sat and watched a cricket sing
And tried to catch a toad"
"He hopped into a valley
Lost beyond my view"
"I'll search for treasures elsewhere
To bring home to you"
A sleepy head wrapped in cotton
And chores to be tended
Bare toes peeking out
Of trousers that need mended
Yet far past noon time
Gazing down on precious limbs
A smile begins to break
Above the box you're sleeping in
Where are you now my boy?
Where is your journey taken?
Off to find me peace of mind
Or is my wish mistaken?

Thank you all for all the wonderful comments you all give for my works. The majority of my works are enigmatic to some degree and I rarely explain them so that the reader can derive their own interpretation. But after seeing the comments here I felt a desire to explain this one: Simply this poem is just about a small boy after a day of exhausting play fell asleep in a box to dream an adventure as the adult looks down upon him smiling to final have peace of mind to see the rowdy boy asleep. I hope this description does not take away a better meaning any reader has had for themselves. Thanks again. -S
