Salty Fairytale by Abby Kelly
Once upon a time
EverAfter sounded like hell.
Days much longer on
clay-cracked earth
Resounding death knell.
I fell defeated to my knees
Slipping down through
Hopeless days.
There was you.
Pitched forward, I expected
To fall forever.
There was you
Who caught my feeble hands.
For a time I yet knew
Nothing but the salt of
My own tears,
Denied, stubborn love.
Nothing’s changed.
My world still cracks and sways.
But pitched forward, I lean
Into stable arms and lend-ed breath.
LIke a fairytale
I stand in the embrace
Of everafter.
Clasped in the arms
Of eternity’s King.
Cracked, clay earth
A scarce memory.
Signed,AbbyKelly
