There is an age of wonder

There is an age of wonder in life where we feel limitless and unbound on the edge of an unknown universe of ourselves. 

Then that time reaches its end and we discover the dreams under our feet as nothing but dust. Shadows of childhood and make-belief in a world that has the best of intentions mapped out for each of us. 

The tragedy of growing up is seeing behind the curtain. On the other side of it, I wish I could run back to a time of believing in mystery and the magic of life’s limitless possibilities.
