“Once upon a time," he said out loud to the darkness. He said these words because they were the best, the most powerful words that he knew and just the saying of them comforted him.” 
― Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux

she wakes at dawn

a new chapter begging to be written

the drive meddling in her life

hijacking her sleep. . . 

words wafting in her head almost like a barricade 

obstructing her very essence

and her compulsion to try and capture 

the unpretentious world which surrounds her everyday

is an affliction she can't stop

for there is much she still needs to say

and do and document

mostly for herself

proof of her "once upon a time"

and the magic of a life worth living

oh my, the sun is out but it is so cold. ice on the pond and the ducks are gone again. hope your day holds some magic.
