About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Princess Megan Rose Author Icon, *Heart* you just gave us a quote from the hero of my childhood. Still, I have to ask myself, "Is life really a fairy tale?"

Answering this question, "Just maybe," I have to say... unless one becomes hopelessly stuck on the "happily ever after" part. Other than that, life really is a story with potential dragons, magic, adventure, and also hopefully, some imagination thrown into the mix as well.

Yet, most importantly, life means transformation. If you take any fairy tale, it has the lesson of transformation in it. And so is life. In it, we are constantly evolving, learning, accepting, feeling, and growing. No wonder some spiritual people look at life as the "big schoolhouse!"

This is probably why, as tests and exams, demons and dragons are everywhere, external or internal, such as self-doubt, fear of failure, a negative self-image or maybe even a too-positive one. The possibilities are endless.

But then, there is also a sweet side to this fairy tale, such as its magic in the form of the kindness of strangers, the power of love, and our belief in something much bigger than our puny selves. This magic, we sometimes don't notice while we hustle through our hours and days, but it is there, always. All we need to do to see and feel that magic when we accept any imperfections and our own strength.

This is because no fairy tale is perfect. And it is the same with our lives.
