Peter Pan
When I was little
Everyone liked princesses
But me
I liked Tinker Bell
She could fly
She was magic
She was amazing
And so was her companion
One night
I was feeling low
Lost
And alone
When they came to visit me
They made me smile
And laugh
They made me happy
But then
A few years later
The world
Turned dark
No one laughed
No one smiled
Everyone was sad
Everyone was gone
And there stood
Peter and Tink
Playing together
I asked them;
"Why are you smiling
When no one else is?"
He answered;
"The world is ours for the taking
No need for THEM to be happy
Besides
There's nothing I can do anymore"
"What do you mean?"
I ask
"No one knows who I am anymore
They have all forgotten me
Forgotten us"
He replied
Sadly
I was shocked
"Oh, but Peter,
Don't you know who you are?
You're a symbol of kindness and hope
No one has forgotten you
We are all just waiting
Waiting for you to come back"
He stood and smiled
"maybe you're right"
He says to me
He grabbed my hand
And we flew away
To make everyone smile
To make everyone happy
Possibilities
A single soul cries out in my empty sky
as my ocean eyes search with frantic wind.
I step back and see my reflection of the past -
tidal waves froth, unleashing bellows of my mind
I reveal my true self as I stand strong and silent
Striving to grow in my own direction as
I arrange guiding stars in an array of light.
Damp moisture recedes from my cells
forms a little waterfall in my dimpled hands.
Captured whispers feed my addiction for growth.
Flames lick my essence as I trust my inner voice
to travel with heightened reality, not illusion.
I thrive in my reach for the highest skies,
opening myself up to tomorrow’s reach of
Possibilities.
