One Wish 8.21.04

I want to fly

Have adventures of my own.

To grow up would be a great adventure

One I'm not ready for.

It is said that death is an awfully big adventure,

But I would rather live.

I want to feel the wind and clouds around me

To fly and dance with fairies

That would be a worthy adventure.

Although it will never happen,

I can dream that it will.

To stop dreaming about things

Would be the death of someone.

The death of a boy

A magical boy that will never grow up

To share an adventure with him would be grand.

Every night I sit and search the heavens,

Hoping that it will come true.

And every night I wish that he would

Take me away

Away to Neverland.


A friend asked me to write her a poem. After a day of reading Peter Pan fics and watching the movies, this is what came out.
