I

Lost boys on a boat

sail across a sea of stars;

home awaits, blessed souls.

II

On evergreen skies

sun-kissed stars smile up at them,

and oh, how they blushed!

III

Cradled in white, they

dance slow with night dressed in stars—

some spill on their wrists.

IV

Sunlight lulled the moon

as she sang the stars to sleep

tucked under silk clouds.

V

The sun burns their skin

deep into the core, leaving

nothing but ember.

VI

Peter Pan was right:

we drift away from the stars

as we grow up—scarred.
