THE PATH

by C.S. Scotkin

There was a time we knew the magic path

Which led us all to true reality

And took us deep within without a map

What wonders, O such visions we could see!

We danced with giants, sang the songs of elves

Conversed with fish and rode a centaur’s back

When did our childhood get pushed back on shelves

All hid behind the lies that children lack?

What leached the sweetness from those early years

Before we learned of pain and cruelest guile

Before we learned the grown-up song of fears

That left us only superficial smiles?

We’ll find again that golden path one day

And you and I, this time, will get to stay.

Update:

I NEVER give thumbs down. I was hoping after a year maybe trolls had become passe...I was wrong.

    it all boils down to sowing and seeding, then reaping the harvest. Each takes place in a different season along life's time line.

    Worry not about thumbs down, care not for thumbs up. I think I have acquired a skin of alligator, by now.

    I think it' ok. I understand the point your trying to make, but it's vague within the poem. The main point does not stick out as much as it should. Try rewording.

    I can credit you with trying, you just need to add more details to the poem, so people who read it will know who/what you are talking about. use more similes and metaphors, they always help beef up a poem
