My Realm. What days those were when youth reined from within the heart. A time of delights uncountable as days waxed and waned before our eyes. My eyes were full and contentment walked as my silent partner as, with whispered songs, the winds picked up the imagination, carrying but thoughts to places unknown. My eyes seen the beauty nature had painted there for but my enjoyment. Flowers, grass and trees, gifts of creation to love as the clock of life slowly moved forward. My eyes did see see such a joy as the silent flight of Hawks, floating on outstretched wings so high above. So bring me this in these days that now have come, all the sights my heart remembers from days I never thought would know an end. Give me the sun-kissed meadows, and moonbeams a playing on hidden waters. Give this to my eyes so that this heart may still know the joys of who I once was in a time now so distant. Here was the lands of youthful thoughts and countless dreamings cast to flickering fireflys. A place of silky smooth grasses to lay upon as the mind sang the tunes of life. There, in the land of youthful delights I have come to enshrine as the greatest riches I will ever have, the riches which no one can rob from in my heart.
