In those years,
Those golden years,
There were entire worlds
Hidden in the backyard—
Lands uncharted,
Terrain untraveled,
Paths yet to be discovered.

Originally published on DeviantArt under the title Pueritia. I associate this poem with the memory of standing in my friend Nick's backyard. We'd play our little fantasy games; one of those games is actually where I got the name Saslen.
