Child's Fall, Rediscovered first version.

I remember when
pretend was enough,
All we needed in a few elements:
a place to warm up and rest,
enough food to fuel us,
the simple props we
discovered around us,
(ready at hand -
something to spark the imagination)
and, often, each other

Now I dream and imagine,
and wonder how to leap the gap
between my biggest dreams and the stark realities
