Some “once upon a time” is not where our myth belongs Through the faded lines of words and rhyme is a hidden song Though fractured deeply, worn by sorrows from time and time again Take my hand and enter our… “pretend.” By star-lit skies Endlessly writing Inviting those along Lost souls who hear our song when gone astray Though strife’s part of life Stay unafraid, now When forces say “behave” We say instead, “Be brave.” In a desperate shout, our souls reach out With pen toward every page We ignite, come alive Like a starry night With a fire no doubts can take away Got no fairy tale Where “love prevails” Though painful, now we move endlessly on By the light- your spark Head first, into the dark Some “once upon a time” is not where a voice gets heard Will the faded lines of speeding time make us flightless birds? When pen is running dry, a soul on fire Is driven to react And when burning flames attack We will never fade to black Though fake, it seems Not a dream Or a trick of light Always vacancy, Take a seat It’s our story’s time A world is brought to life, through voices five And as “real” as they say Pen as sword, we’re choosing fate We can never lose our way By star-lit skies Endlessly writing Inviting those along Lost souls who hear our song when gone astray Though strife’s part of life Stay unafraid, now When forces say “behave” We say instead, “Be brave.” Defiant ‘til the end, I’ll stay killing To sing I’ll dance in burning embers unyielding Your love’s given me wings While learning to remember the good times We bring Our ocean’s finally full of life Set every vital piece in motion Now we write In a desperate shout, our souls reach out With pen toward every page We ignite, come alive Like a starry night With a fire no doubts can take away Write a fairy tale Where “love prevails” Cliched, maybe, we move joyfully on By the light- your spark Hopeless days are just a part of being free We wrote it all by heart. And smile, side by side among the stars…
