Teach me to ride the wind
and away we'll go
my shadow is lost this close to the sun
but my wings are fine
Save your needle and thread
for when you tear my heart in two
and a laugh breaks
into a thousand little pieces
You'll be waiting
where dreams can be remembered
between sleep and awake
...the only place you love me
The second star to the right
will lead us nowhere
but death is an awfully big adventure
... the only place you love me
Very touching.

ReplyDeleteI love this. A multitude of images fast firing in the time it took to read. -Jayne
ReplyDeleteWow - Now that is totally unexpected from the abyss that is your mind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Awesome! <3
ReplyDeleteVery cool. At first I was thinking Icarus but then I got it.
ReplyDeleteLovely. The first line took me. "Teach me to ride the wind.."
ReplyDelete@Kate Hanley: That was, actually, a subtle reference to Icarus. So you got it twice! ;)
ReplyDelete@Candy: Thank you, but I can't take credit for all the words, merely their arrangement. Some of that is J.M. Barrie verbatim.
It's alright Jeff...I'm not Kate Winslet :)
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteLove this. I especially like "my shadow is lost this close to the sun".
ReplyDeletePeter Pan lives in all of us! Wonderfully crafted.
