'Once upon a time' flies by
And the awaited 'happily ever after'
Never seems to arrive
But 'the end' is too finalized
It seems so possible
That nothing truly ends
Exchanges
maybe
Changes
rearranges
But all of life is conserved
Brief pauses
Through seasons passed
Assuming that
It's concluded at last
But how can we be so sure?
Feelings never seem to fade
Love is never truly lost
Misplaced
But never thrown away
The heart seeming
So inconsistent in its burning
Relies on love
Long lingered on
While eyes are blind
The soul can see
What the mind can't find
Desires long thought lost
And the dreams
Dreamt in years past
Cling to the ambition
Still strong
Holding on
Life-long
Every wish
Upon every mystical star
Stands clear in the heart
And in the majestic night
We still pray they come true
People
Friends
Family
Loves
All thought to be chased away
Are never really gone
Out of sight
Not necessarily
Out of mind
And the hope that strains
As it continues on
Though seems to fade
Lasts
And lasts
Conserved
So
the fairytales were wrong
Happily ever after
the end
Won't ever come
Instead
a constant cascade
Of hope
Of dreams
Of friends
Of love
