Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time,
there lived kindest of souls;
In the trunk of a tree,
In a palace built within.
Illuminated the tree stood tall,
its fluorescence dripping in darkness;
As the sky pulled a black sheet,
sun calmly descended down the hills.
Thoughts rode on swift horses,
and travelled through the night sky;
Souls afloat amongst twinkling stars,
bathed in serene moonlit night.
With bagful of glittering gifts,
Fairies with a magic wand;
Granted all wishes and turned dreams true,
To unveil mysteries, heavens beyond.
As the morning sun rose,
desires returned and rested;
Embed deep in the hearts,
Once upon a time.
