My mom hung my clothes in the box by the wall of my room
It carried my outfits for outings or school days
It’s where my favorite spot for hide and seek came into bloom
And grew when Woody made a dramatic entrance to his friends in his museum phase
It just held clothes, something so normal
Yet, in a child’s mind, it held enchanting memories
A closet carries your style of crazy, hippie, bright, dark, or formal
It carries the hats, the scarves, the imagination-helping accessories
A Narnia it has become when you first hid in the embrace of your clothes
And for some, a comforting escape where the outside world froze
This poem reminds me of my childhood days reading the Narnia series and pretending I was in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, thanks so much for the memories. I love this poem, and especially the fabulous ending:
‘A Narnia it has become when you first hid in the embrace of your clothes
And for some, a comforting escape where the outside world froze’
