Once in the Land of Nevermore

Once

All the colors of the sky

filled your mind

and your eyes



Once

all the sounds of the dawn

filled your thoughts

and your words



Not so long ago

in the Land of Nevermore



Not so long ago

in the Land of Nevermore



Once

all the freshness of the streams

filled your dreams

and your skin



Once

all the brightness of the stars

filled your hopes

and your smiles



Not so long ago

in the Land of Nevermore



Not so long ago

in the Land of Nevermore



Once

all the softness of the clouds

filled your soul

and your touch



Now

all the love within your eyes

has it gone

to the Land of Nevermore?



to the Land of Nevermore?



to the Land of Nevermore?




Author's Notes/Comments: 

These are also lyrics to a song, combining acoustic finger-style guitar with some echo-laden electric guitar solo. Hope the words can of themselves make a good read too.

Hi! Saw your poem in our random feature poetry. Its title captured my attention. Sounds like a fairy tale. ^_^ This is beautiful. I wish I could listen to the sound of it too. ^_^ All the best!
