A poem

I was looking through some of my old poetry just now, trying to recapture a bit of my lost youthful inspiration. I found this. Hope you enjoy it.

FARAWAY

A little boy runs on the beach!
He dances wildly with the sun
in joy unbridled for the day--
He laughs out with delighted cry!
Then prances 'round with arms upraised,
small body flashing 'cross the sand
to chase (to catch!) the gleaming birds
that circle high above his head
and cry out just for him!
He calls for them to swoop to him;
to pick him up and fly away
to freedom pure in sparkling skies--
to Faraway, behind the clouds,
where lie the dreams of
running little boys....

When's the last time you've been to Faraway?

I really like your poem!

You have really caught what it is like to be a free little boy, unencumbered with adult things.......
