when was the last time you...
had a conversation
with the moon
made a wish
on a falling star
held hope on a string
of delicate things
when was the last time you...
got lost
in an enchanted wood
kissed by a prince
who turned into a frog
consulted a caterpillar
kidnapped a Myth
had a visit
from your fairy Godmother
who turned pumpkins...
into coaches
and wishes
into wings
when was the last time you...
cried lost tears
into the Lake of Longing
or sipped inspiration
from the pool of wonder
or rose, victorious
like a phoenix
from the ashes
when did you last?...
Lay your head in the lap of awe
and listen to a song
from a distant shore...
called home
THE TIME IS NOW!
LEAP!
SOAR!
EXPLORE!
remember your dreams
and unseen things
sing with rapture
and dance...
Dance
Dance like a dervish
and when imagination knocks
open the door

As i said before, thank you for your entry, just by doing so you are giving hope to everyone that this has affected. I usually don't like poems that do not rhyme, but this is one of those exceptions that works really well. I think if it did rhyme it would have ruined the serious/innocent feel of the poem. i love the combination of background and theme. Good work and thanks again for your entry, good luck in the contest.

Myriah,
this was absolutely beautiful. I love the message here... that life may have ups and downs, may be frightening or destructive even, but that is what makes it beautiful - so just LIVE it to the fullest!
I really needed to read this, to be reminded of this. Thank you so much.
