Farewell To Fairytales

Due to a string of worrying world events and also the "in memoriam" prompt from Poets and Storytellers United, gone, hopefully not for long, is my belief in enchanted endings. Although I sometimes say farewell to illusions, I cannot say goodbye to the fairies my daughter drew (above) when she was small. And I confess it was not easy leaving Bella (below), the sweet dog I met on my recent walk. Doesn't she look like a shaggy sidekick character in a fairytale? And isn't existence, from certain angles, as implausible as a fairytale full of unique characters that play a role in your life's story. Unlike most fairytales, real situations don't always end well and our battles go on and on. But maybe it seems that way because we haven't yet arrived at "the true" ending.

Earth is surely the only place in our galaxy where a daffodil unfolds.
