The Queen of Impossible Things

The Queen of Impossible Things

Beyond the hills no maps could hold

There stood a kingdom dark and old

Its towers reached through cloud and rain

Its gates appeared then hid again

The people spoke in quiet tones

Of silver halls and ancient thrones

And one who ruled with steady grace

No crown of gold upon her face

They called her queen of things unseen

Of all that could have somehow been

Of hopes dismissed and dreams denied

And all the parts people still hide

Travellers came through storm and night

To ask her how to make things right

Some wanted fortune, fame or peace

Some wished old memories would cease

She listened long and answered less

No grand display, no cleverness

Her words were small and plain to hear

Yet somehow stayed from year to year

A man once asked if fear would fade

She said it follows light and shade

So build your days and let it walk

Do not give fear the final talk

One woman asked if love returns

The queen replied that life still turns

Not every ending means complete

Some things arrive in different ways

When finally my turn appeared

I asked the thing I quietly feared

How do I become enough

When every day already feels tough

She stood and led me through a hall

With empty mirrors on each wall

No faces there, no future shown

Only reflections still unknown

She stopped and said with gentle eyes

Impossible wears good disguise

Most things you think are not for you

Are waiting for you to walk through

Then placed no treasure in my hand

No secret words, no hidden plan

Only this sentence calm and clear

Begin before you feel prepared
