The clock has just struck one. <br />Have you seen Cinderella tonight? <br />Was she ever real? <br /> <br />Lost in the mist <br />Of lies and deception, <br />Hidden in the shadows <br />Where she used to feel safe, <br />With the aid of a secret Godmother, <br />Her ghost tries to find the light. <br /> <br />And as the moon is chased by the sun <br />Magic is replaced by reality <br />And all again are plain <br />And ordinary <br />And lifeless. <br /> <br />Tomorrow night <br />Her withered spirit <br />Will try once more to find her prince. <br /> <br />She believes that dreams are <br />Our pathway to magic <br />And I am definite that <br />Fairy tales end only when <br />We allow them to.<br /><br />Ivy Christou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cinderella-5/
