To Believe

Watchful little fairies 
Dance within my mind
They ask who I could come to trust; 
The first one of my kind
I shush them quickly and quietly,
Gentle reprimand;
Say that I would waste away 
As one who’d known my land
Portals to a cloudless sky 
Filled with a crying air;
Souls that cover that listless blue 
Were born unto despair
Conversing as age foretold-
Prophecy never spoken;
Sighs were tripping through the wind; 
Duly ended broken
Dropping through a bottomless tunnel 
To a word when I’d been afraid
Found the bottom littered with blackness 
Of laughter too soft to convey
Stepping forward to stumble back
As a declaration did fearfully start;
Quaking with knowledge of awaking love
And butterflies in my heart
