4:15 in the morning. Got caught up in pictures again instead of sleeping and keep coming back to this one. I put a different song and lyrics on flickr, but was struggling with the right title. So for those of you reading this, THIS was the original title I had for this photo. The poem just kind of happened. Not uncommon at this time of day, especially after catching a cold and eating an entire family sized can of campells chicken noodle soup with Red Robin seasoning all over it, with pizza flavor-blasted gold fish crackers and a plain bagel to dip in the broth. Nonetheless, it's my first poem since age 15. Enjoy
On the shores of Neverland
Carried away in the arms of a dream
The journey neverending it seems
'Til finally I am washed ashore
To a place I've never been before
Though vaguely familiar, my memory askew
Imagination soaring as I breathe anew
My past, my present, all but forgotten
I embrace this new future, a path not foretrodden
Against the brilliant skies dance colors of fire and water
The sun sets, burning the clouds hotter and hotter
In the distance a small voice draws my attention
Color and sound fades, my thoughts caught in suspension
And just as I close my eyes for a second
My feet start forward as my heart now is beckoned
I open my eyes as she takes my hand
As we take our first steps towards neverland
