It isn’t once upon a time
But instead a daily routine
We look for magic beyond
Never imagining
It is hidden plainly
Within the details
~
We seek the ever after
Made up of millions of tiny choices
Thinking the magnificent
Could never be mundane
Made up of to do lists
And errands and minutiae
~
We long for the fairytale
Blind to our existence in it
Overlooking the gap
In all of the old stories:
The fairytale remains undefined
Only created in the living of it
~
We seek all we have
Missing it in our grasp
Holding fast to the otherness
Losing faith in the ordinary
While the heart knows
The magic of our quiet truths
~
The fairytale of living and being alive – Caroline A. Slee
