Fabulous Fairytales

now that I’m old enough to read fairy tales again (CS Lewis)

I’ll revisit the stories and practice pretend

prepare my broken heart for the pledged happy end

where the world is easy and everybody’s a friend

*

music falls soft, like raindrops

while wishes are made on the stars

the second shoe never drops

and no one brandishes scars

*

the moon calls to the ocean

fragile hearts don’t have bars

to protect from harsh emotions

when life's decisions get hard

*

I’ll believe the unbelievable

put my trust in what may be

in a world where the impossible

was written for me
