Fairy Tales
Might Be True
© 2019 by P Michael Biggs
Fairy tales are true;
not because they tell us
that dragons exist,
but because they tell us
that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman taught us that,
and it is so.
Fought any dragons lately?
I’m glad Roger Bannister
wasn’t listening to the dragons
of his day in 1954.
They were breathing fire of fear,
of death and destruction.
Man’s lungs can’t take that speed.
Your heart will explode.
And in space flight, the dragons said,
The G-forces will crush you.
You’ll never survive the landing.
Those dragons were beat down.
And what dragons do you face today?
Maybe they’re not dragons at all.
Maybe they are just fears whispering
doom and gloom.
Maybe you can become something more,
something exceptional,
something unique.
Maybe your dragons are not real at all.
Maybe.
