When I was 10

We gnarled chubby knees 
on convoluted trees 
as we swayed upon the yardarm 
sailing stormy seas. 

We bruised our immortality 
threw caution to the breeze 
only darkness overcame us 
as we did just as we pleased. 

And the man in the moon  
has found good company 
with a giant leap of faith, 
and a verse in history. 

Upon Infinities of youthful days 
imagination feeds, but the 
feigned light of yesterday 
hides darker memories.
