Wandering Away
When did we grow up?
When did we think imagination was not worthy of our time?
When we thought we were a superhero with just a blanket on our backs
When our eyes sparkled at the word, play
When we were as free as the wind was whipping past as we soared on our bikes
When we splashed in the bathtub water believing we were swimming with whales, sharks, and turtles in mcelligot's pool
When was the last time you said hi to your imaginary friend?
They miss you.
When was the last time you looked up at the stars and thought what it would be like to hold one in your hands?
Feeling the warm glow of something so pure
The light illuminating your face and the wonder sparkling in your eye
Where does it go?
Surely it doesn’t go away right?
Can we go back to Neverland?
