Challenge
A childhood memory
Capture a childhood memory in either prose or poetry.
In my eyes it was a castle
Grandmother’s house by the sea
Looking to the left on the balcony
I thought we were standing
On the very edge of the world
Ships sailed off the horizon
And fell into space
Swimming in the ocean
Was heaven and paradise
Imagining the waves breaking
Rising and chasing only me
A heart that pumped just for one
And I felt like a cell when I swam
In its bloodstream
When you’re small
The world spins because of you
