Once upon a dream
all was not as it seemed
tattered wings she wanted to fly
soaring high in a sapphire sky
Once upon a star
she made a wish
from afar
penning words from her heart
language of love, work of art
Once upon a dragon
a story began to happen
navigator of the vast heavens
following illumination of sevens
Once upon a song
she found a place to belong
creating bridges between the worlds
in darkness mystical light unfurled
Once upon a love
she danced in wispy clouds above
to the beat of her poetic heart
teary eyed, her dreams fell apart
written for dVerse

That once upon can sure get fiddled with once it starts. She may need to piece those dreams back together.
ReplyDeletea lot of new beginnings and wistfulness in this poem
ReplyDeleteoooooh.....I was floating right along with her......through all her Once Upon A(s).....and then the let down. As is appropriate for the day, boo! I wanted her to sail along on an ethereal cloud of happiness. A good twist....yep. You had me!
ReplyDeleteI liked that one a lot! Sounds like facing reality left a bitter taste in her mouth.
ReplyDeleteToo often our dreams turn to sour porridge; such a shame. We need to cherish dreamers; without them only the leaden-eyed rut awaits.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a love

All the stanzas are beautiful,True! The final stanza is most appropriate to present a perfect close with a love theme. Typically love will find a theme of despair

Love that you had the dragon there ... and I knew you would.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of the dragon navigating the heavens.
ReplyDeleteWe soar and we crash and, with enough luck, belief and dreams, sometimes we soar again.
ReplyDeleteHi Truedessa - such a poignant poem ... life has its ups and downs, and torn wings ... take care - it was delightful to read - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI do hope her dreams reform and hold.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, wonderful and so cheery, dreams so real can only become true *smiles*
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a dragon! Yes.
