Dream

I never was a typical child

My days filled with longing for blue skies

Where I could see dragons and valiant knights

Dancing among the clouds

My mother would scoff

And turn my head back to domesticity

My father would frown

And point to my scholarly duty

My heart yearned for the freedom

Of the written word

To grasp the magic of the story

For it never laughed

Nor judged

I was never a typical child

While the rest recited a dutiful rote

I was running through the fields

Of my mind, laughing in joy

While the others snickered at my lost expressions

Until the day I met her

Who took my hand and ran with me

Daydreaming of wild adventures

Concocting stories by the firelight

A gleam in both our eyes

And she was happy

For I was never a typical child
