All good stories
Begin with
Once upon a time....
Where our dreams Are
Like faerie tales
Given breath
To life.
Acts of revelation
Of hope and protest
Made flesh.
In a world
Filled with hate
And ignorance.
Where hope is
A fragile butterfly
Fluttering against
Furious winds.
And yet
We fight.
Knowing
Real change
Is generations
Away.
