Play to Heartbreak

Play to Heartbreak
Form: Unnamed Sonnet 10

Life is a wonder in the preschool years
With happiness and joy found everywhere
Living in a little world without fears
When life is easy without need or care
As we learn all from the play that we share
A gentle hand always comforts our tears
When a little thing is too much to bare
Each new sound is like music to the ears

Only an innocent child could conceive
The adventures found in a sleeping dream
Is anything more than sweet make-believe
Until nothing can be what it would seem
When at school a child learns one thing is true
That following dreams breaks the heart in two

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
