Papier-mâché travelogue brings back childhood

"The greatest final adventure at sunset
is a make-believe travelogue."

Past your prime, and here you are in fairy land. 
to be a child once more,
returning to a place you love and not understand
innocence in its core;
 this freedom in pure childhood affection and fun
is the greatest tour. 
  
 
Here in a land where Peter Pan flies,
stars mingle with fireflies
flowers pretty smiling faces, 
of princes and princesses 
  
More than the Phoenix bird rising, 
little ones in its place singing,
life's continuum, ad infinitum, 
far, far away from doom. 
 
The little ones they are our very own
in flesh, in laughter and joy;
wouldn't the angels rather join the fun?
the heavy at heart to buoy. 
 
Voodoo - song, dance and play,
festival at the grassroots, 
tribal, primitive - who would say -
  all the pain it soothes. 
Life is a giant book 
to kids of unending entertainment
opportunities and adventure 
surprises and merriment.
  
In fantasy land it is hard to say Goodbye
even if you are very old;
the greatest final adventure at sunset
is a make-believe travelogue.~
