Once upon a time, I believed in Magic
When life was at its best to escape the tragic
When dreams were lived in the reality
When humankind was charged for its brutality
Once upon a time, I believed in Life
When I discovered the path to my soul
When I realized I could rock and roll
When I fondly cherished my every goal
Once upon a time, I believed in Love
When I glared at the stars in the sky above
When I persuaded myself to endeavor the nature
When I saw my life’s very first dove
Once upon a time, I believed in You
When ‘Y’ were your dreams
When ‘O’ were our obsessions
When ‘U’ considered ultimately yourself
But now, I believe in myself
I believe in the fairy-tale to reveal itself
I believe in the strength of love to overtake my reality
I believe to sow seeds of magic and embrace immortality
upon the step
to believing in self
the magick returns
rising above the flames that burn
what a beautiful sense of direction these words of your flow..
I enjoyed this very much..
Thank you for sharing
Take Care..
