When Wonder Was True Poem by Omotola Joshua

When Wonder Was True

​If only our childhood wonder
Could be what we see and feel,
Not just a fleeting fantasy

​We would recolour the sky,
Refusing its patient blue;
Bend the laws of nature
into the curves of our dreams, forever playful,
And ride on creatures unheard of
Birthed from our thoughts—
as though they'd always been.
Then, we would wish our wonder never came true.
