As gently rolls

As gently rolls

The passing cloud

Feather me down

Soft, fluffy insulation

Brushing a fine broom

Over pastel skies

Carry me away

On the back of a Dragonfly

Take me over land and sea

To the farthest shores

Antarctic penguins

Dancing in the moonlight

Practising their dedication

To parenting

Is there any wonder

Left to me

As the dust of ages

Rimes my eyes

Tearful reminiscence

A thing of the past

The well is dry

At world’s end

There are so few wishes

Left to try

When the bell rings

For last supper

Will it bring me back

Or do I stay

Among the clouds

Searching for Neverland

Where lost boys play

For all eternity

Waiting for their Wendy.
