Lost Boy's Canoe

I am a boy of an endless age
She is a girl left in flightless rage

She longs to soar high
Up from the down
This island is populated
With the lost but not found
I am one of the grounded lost
This cave is my home
It was cold
Till you came
You've been here with me
For a lifetime of love
But your wings grow stronger
Soon you'll fly with the doves
I never expect to see you again
So when I'm staring
I'm just trying to remember you when
You look on to the sky
With wishes in your eyes
This lost boy's island
Would have been your demise
You were lighter and lovelier
From the day you touched down
The red carpets were filthy
You've always been better than ground
I did my best
To make your stay a delight
So that you might remember me
When you look down from the clouds at night

I am lost now
More than I ever was
My wings never grew
And you're gone now too
This island is lifeless
In the saddest of ways
The days have stalled
All the fruits turned to gray
The sky will be my home now
Too far from where I am
But I know that's where you've gone now
So I'll start doing what I can

I've stayed too long here
In this lost region
This cave is pointless
Unchanging seasons
You taught me
That there is bigger things out there
Grander in spirit
Grander in scale
I've fashioned a vessel
And gathered provisions
Just wait for me
To accomplish my mission
I push off tonight
With the moon overhead
A heart full of hopeful
And a basket of dread
Into the unknown
You have altered my direction
But I'm headed home
With my lost boy's canoe
And wistful reflection
