Finding Neverland

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Given a century

Just to die slowly

Withering daily

In those who don't know me

A ghost to the world

An anonymous letter

A ripple in time

In a river's forever

Ephemeral instants

Momentous occasions

Hourglass sands

Of existence abrasions

Weathering down

My infinity stones

With oblivious kingdoms

And Oedipus thrones

Of the edifice Rex

Of tyrannical things

Pulling marionettes

With Pinocchio strings

For reality's lie

Is a Captain Hook hand

To a boy who has flown

To the Peter Pan land

Where losing yourself

Is to never grow old

When you're lions, and tigers

And bear stories told

A wizard of great

And powerful words

Foretelling the future

Of emerald absurds

Removing the curtains

From blinds of perception

Revealing the face

Of the master deception

Sharing the vision

Of peace I have seen

By awaking you all

To a lucid sky dream

Symphonic fantasia

Euphoric design

All figments of your own

Imagining mind

So before you put down

The brush and the pen

Come take a trip

Through these pages again
