The Fairytale Untold
By Sherine Meshad
Do you think patience is a virtue?
Do you think silence is made of gold?
Do you think what they’ve always taught you?
Is all you ever need to know?
***
Do you think life is just a passage?
That the story has been foretold?
A mere narration of a script,
Whose words are written on planks of stone?
***
Do you think dragons live in dreams?
Trolls help to guard pots of gold?
Happy ever afters not made for movies,
True love endured as the tale unfolds?
***
Are we my friend measly observers?
Simple chess pieces placed on the board?
Awaiting our queue on the stage of existence,
To speak out lines, till the curtains fall?
***
