Cassiopeia Rises: Dreams Of A Child

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

behind a child's dreams
shadows tread oh so softly
darkness slowly blooms

a mind fresh no fear
swiftly grows within a void
innocence is lost

I like your this 'has to happen' set. Do you remember ... Of course, we all do!

I have an OSI for this week but it is in hiding now that Mr. Linky went away. I may make rounds there tomorrow night.
