Fairies and Moonbeams
Bring little girls dreams
Of romance
Dressed in hopes
Their fragile hearts dwell
High in golden castles
Where the magic, Love
Lifts them on clouds
Of desire

But time is no friend
Of Fairies and Moonbeams
So Knights come and go
Taking frail hopes in tow
And shining armor
Turns to empty promises
In their aging hands

Little by little
The castles descend
Until clouds gather over the heads
Of those once little girls
Those once dancing hearts
Who now stand alone
Backs to the doors
Where no Knights pass
And the only armor that remains
Is the steel in the eyes
Once so full
Of fairies and moonbeams.
