The lost child
#WritcoPoemPrompt58
I dreamt of falling down a well,
A narrow tube, deep beneath the earth,
Dark and moist, I saw a small child,
What’s it trying to tell?

She stood looking with bewildered eyes at me.
I could too sense ...between us a familiarity.

Her smile slowly faded to tears
as though showing her fears.
I pondered again to be lost in past
trying to recollect the similarity fast.

She stumbled to hold my hand
amidst the pebbles and sand.
My heart skipped beating a while
when she hugged me with a smile.

The question she asked me slowly
I thought about my life again wholly.
"You gave unconditional love to closed ones
Did you get even a little back ...leave in tons? "

I smiled with tearful eyes at her
How did she know me better?
Was it just a plain coincidence
or some relation in prevalence.

She caressed my face gently
saying.."live your life fully
Take time out for thyself
Find happiness in your self."

Now I realized...who the charming child was
Of course... Me, myself , with the old scars...
