NeverlandA Poem by Alexander DillonA poem about loss but also belonging.
One familiar and melancholy pop-song
Struck a deep and discordant heart-chord: "I am orphaned." Feeling not quite an adult, but no longer a child, I do not know my place in the world. Parentless. Homeless. Fantastical images of a home for lost ones Captures my attention like never before. Strange stirrings of kin-recognition as I close my eyes And see the familiar faces from childhood films. With bittersweet acceptance of who I am, What I've become, of my new community: Orphaned. Lost Boys. "Neverland is home to lost boys like me and lost boys like me are free. Neverland I love you so, you are now my home sweet home. Forever a lost boy at last." © 2021 Alexander DillonFeatured Review
