Once Upon A Time~when We Think The Gods Fail Us Poem by ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY

'Once upon a time' is how many stories begin
stories full of adventure
where pages of magic and wonder are held within
But life's not always a fairytale
that ends with- 'They lived happily ever after'
It's full of ups, downs, tears and joy
with different adventures in every page and chapter

Sometimes our Earthly feathers may choose to fly
into the ancient cobwebs of antiquity
where many sorrows and painful tears we'll cry
The winds of Earth and Heaven blowing to and fro
with the changing pulse of the Universe
through many Celestial dimensions and black holes

The gods usually send us what we ourselves create
but, there are times we become untuned to the song
the melody of the Universe, that musically vibrates
So whether you be a sinner or a saint
being in tune with the Cosmos-
is a matter of listening with your heart
to the Divine, the angels and the immortals
And...
by using a sage decorum of constraint
