Childhood is a brightly painted rocking horse,
rocking back and forth.
Only able to travel so far before
it must return to it's place of rest.
A rocking horse is a prisoner though.
Seeing the same sites over and over.
Unable to travel unless someone
picks it up and moves it.
And then it can only go
where the carrier takes it.
A rocking horse is allowed...
no voice.
