When Peter Pan Came at My Window

"Come friend,"
He whispered in my ear &
my cat snuggled in with me

"Let's go!"
He took my hand
"Let's leave"

"Where?" I asked
Confused,
Sleepily

"To Neverland"
He said, excited;
Tempting me

"Ok,"
I gave in.
I wanted to be free.

So he flew
And I walked
To my balcony

"Tinkerball, where are you?"
He smiled
Innocently.

I thought
Innocent forever
I too will be.

Never grow up
Isn't that
The real dream?

As I got lost
In thoughts of adventures,
I didn't see

I was flying
A step out on the air
When she

Snatched my foot;
My cat
Didn't want me to leave.

It meowed but
All I heard
Was a plea

"You have your own
Ambitions and
Goals yet to achieve,

And if you go
The light of day
They will never see."

"Oh, dear cat
I love you,but
I don't love reality

So if I fly away
With Peter Pan,
I will make new dreams."

As soon as
Those words flew
I started to feel

Weird.
Sometimes reality
Can be

Hard
Cruel
Mean.

But that is what
Makes us see
The beauty

Of rare tears
That turn to pearls
When we're happy.

So I bid farewell
To my
Saviour-to-be

Thanked him for
Trying to
Believe in me.

I cannot
Leave behind
These seeds

Of hope I had
Sewn to grow
Into sunlit trees.

I fed them my tears
And in me first
I need to believe.

So I go back to bed
With my cat at my feet,
I go back to sleep

They're both the same,
Dreams
Reality.

It all depends on
What you
Make them to be

Bye bye Peter Pan
Who will always just stay
My saviour to be.
