Shared With Love a Response To Agnes Amory

‘So many moons ago..’
In Each tale we visit a new style of castle.
The villages or rivers, they lead us through a quest; 
All so very different and yet the myth is the same; 
An antihero who fights the villain as he gains courage 
as they slay some version of a dragon once again;

‘So many moons ago..’
The page is flipped over; 
Words fallen into so many times by so many 
still retain their youth; We follow along a metaphor 
of good versus evil to remind us that we too 
can triumph with a pure heart, sharp sword and tongue. 
Transcending time the response is the same, 
no matter when you were born. Dog eared text 
shared by your grandparents with love;

‘Happily ever after..’ 
what will this phrase inspire next? 
The longevity of bed time stories 
read once upon a time …
