Poetry inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia

Memoirs

The Autumn wind is blowing strong

The october leaves are falling down

And they join the multitudes

That are rotting on the ground

How like the leaves upon the dirt

Are my dreams from yesterday

Today I've done a dangerous thing

And took a stroll down memory lane

I went back to a world I once knew

Back to a life that was once mine

Back to an innocence I once had

Innocence that was bliss and kind

Back to the days when I was young

Back when I had the faith of a child

Back to when I was queen of Narnia

And was known as gentle, meek and mild

It seems...it seems so long ago

And indeed, perhaps it was

When I was different girl

And the difference was because...

...was because...

Oh Aslan, tell me, was it because,

Because I had once believed in you

Where You really always there

And was Narnia really true

I had come to think it folly

I had come to think child's play

So I threw it from my heart

When perhaps, I should have let it stay

And now Time has blown away

The leaves and dreams of my youth

And I wonder could it be

That I had strayed from the truth

But now the lane has ended

And I come back to reality

And to the life I am living

And to the person that is me

Yet a part of me is saying

'Remember, remember the days of before'

'And look forward to a day'

'When hearts will be mended and dreams restored'
