Neverland

Go! Go to sleep!” Night said “Where? Where?” I whispered back Sleep - Where can this famed land be? Where one must close their eyes in order to see! And must I go there at nine o'clock? How to get there? Will I walk? Will my friends be there as well? Or should I bid them all farewell? And Night was silent for a while Til she answered with a knowing smile Sleep is the land where your dreams dwell More than that I can't foretell. But perhaps it’s the home of fairies Perhaps it’s full of tales and stories Miracles are quite common there You could meet Hope, or else Despair And then Night said beware; Beware the place called Nightmare The land of banshees, dwarves and dragons The home of elves, griffins and kraken. And shuddering I closed my eyes For there the land of sleep lies And Night continued its lullaby Until the sun rose in the sky.
