Stories of Magic

By Nicole West Published 5 years ago 1 min read

My eyes open as the sun shines through.

My sensations begin to shake.

My body lies numb, feeling all to new.

Never will I forget this mistake.

Pupils become headlights and chaos intervenes.

Great stories are always built by dreams and by queens.

Step through the swamps, for it’s only waist deep.

Tread lightly is advised for the snakes will want to keep.

Against the earth the shadows will wish you well and

Graceful hearts will hold the wishes in neat little shells, for

It is not attachment that they require but

Everything else that the soul can desire.

Love conquers all is what the fairytales teach.

Move forward you must and practice taking that leap.
