The Last Night in The Nursery
-A poem inspired by the works of James M. Barries "Peter and Wendy"
I bring my flute to my lips
and give its gentle sound a kiss
For so my spirit longs to be
across the rainy wind swept sea
To a land where dreams n'er die
just rest, tucked safe beneath the sky
But, lo, my wings are broke now
and never 'gain reach that timeless tower
Now my head bows down to sleep
for I've one more promise to keep
I shan't return when I awake
I've grown too much to journeys take
I'd best forget of fairys light
for think of me, O what a sight!
If I revealed of secrets told
to others who are much too old
To understand why sleepless nights
bring nightmares worse than devlish bites
I'll sleep now, my breathing cease
aft' this, my final night of peace
And below the sun, and, sand, and sea
Neverland sleeps in wait for me
