Happily Ever After, After All

Published on 3 November 2016 at 16:31

I found a castle way up high,

as I swam across a moonlit sky.

I pushed through the rainy days

and found myself above the waves.

I looked down and saw the ground,

and it was spinning round and round.

It was a magnificent sight to see—

almost as if it were a cosmic dream.

 

I landed myself atop the castle wall,

in hopes that it may never fall.

Though the castle was quite empty,

I found a mirror and saw an enemy.

My foe ran and ran until he was gone,

but he was not gone for too, too long.

 

I saw another mirror, and then found him.

I ran to the beast, going out on a limb.

Close enough I was—I shattered the mirror,

and then the thought became much clearer:

the enemy of the castle way up high

was none other than the creature inside.

 

The ugliness that was hidden away

decided one day to come out and play.

And I shattered my fears—I killed them all.

I destroyed the mirror, mirror on the wall.

And I lived happily ever after, after all.
