He's in there... ...somewhere... Racing madly through eternally green fields, chasing butterflies and wondering what clouds are made of, or where the white goes when the snow melts. Not that it matters as long as there are clouds to watch and snow to melt and questions to ask... He collects things too. Small things mostly, interesting rocks, snake skins, feelings... tucking them all away for later, when the darkness comes and there is no one around to see him. When he can look at the rocks and wonder about the million-year-old secrets held within, When he can feel the dry, silk-scaly smoothness of the snake skin against his cheek, When he can take the feelings, dip them in ink, and spread them across the diary of his life... ...when he can cry... When he can feel the bittersweet release of a thousand tears each one containing a small sharp-sparkling memory of all the years, all the pain and joy and wonder, all the smiles and dreams of long summer days of worlds he imagined...or created... or left behind, for all he lost and all he gained, becoming the man he is now.
