Monty And Friends Poem by Melissa Coventry

Its years since I open my mind,
To reality and living repeats,
However I feel in my shadow –
I saw more in child-blind view,
Then I see through my blinks.
I saw through the twinge,
Didn’t feel it taint,
Or spear my new formed heart,
And sphere of imagination and dreams.
Yet its years since I woke,
From the sun coaxing me to rise,
Just rather hold up the shield-
From myself and the sting,
But as the past rises, as the memory stirs,
I find myself closing my mind,
Closing my eyes to find once more,
My old mind with Monty and friends.
