we built a fort
to protect one another
from those who were not
on our team.
We make the walls of our
fort strong.
Here we play,
we sings songs,
we talk
til the wee hours around a fire.
We share food and make warmth.
And this fort that we built strong
will stand always on the foundation
it was built on.
Even as each of us,
on our own,
venture out into the world
beyond;
Where we fly, run, crawl, climb.
Ride waves
discover new lands,
emotions, stories, faces.
Our fort
our palace
our room
OUR safe haven
remains.
The fire we made burns
awaiting our return
to meet
whenever we can.
And just like the wondrous little boys
that reside within
the hardened walls of grown men -
We will meet here again and again
to exchange our views
compare stories
trade tools
trinkets
and treasures that we each will bring back
from our journeys on paths vast and far.
This same place, we will decorate with the experiences
from our individual lives.
And from our fort we will forge
a palace
a castle
a kingdom
so vast.
A place so magnificent
no walls nor distance
not even the passage of time
may contain it.
