Neverland Days

Do you recall the Neverland days?

I do. We used them so freely,

thinking they would never fade...

sailing cool, summer evenings

aboard the Jolly Roger

and dancing moonlit nights

with the Aborigines.

Once, the mermaids snatched you,

another time they did me,

but we escaped and flew, flew, flew

until our shadows ceased.

And then we grew a little taller, a little wiser,

and somewhere a fairy fell dead.
