A Tale of Dreams and Honey (Peter Pan's Ballad)
March 31, 2021
He wakes among the moonbeams,
A tale upon his tongue.
It tastes like dreams and honey,
so sweet the world feels numb.
He flees upon the dawn glow,
daylight piercing cloud.
It lays on him a halo,
a ghost of him once bound.
He leaves behind a remnant.
A shell of what had been.
So many try to see it,
But none have caught wind.
His dreams are not yet realized.
His path is not yet clear,
But joy has never left him,
and he has cried no tears.
