The Biggest Competition Ever 2017 - Volume 2 (Weeks 6-10)

once upon a time (lyttlejoe) (8)

Once upon a time

long, long ago

in a period sublime

I came to know

a paradigm

so apropos

it changed my lifetime

from the status-quo

It began with a discovery

of a feeling so intense

so unexplained and dreamy

making little sense

and yielding no recovery

hiding no pretense

it was duplicity free

a naturally pure existence

She was an angel come to earth

perfection to the core

could I but prove my worth

would expectation require more

of nerve there was no dearth

and I let my ambition soar

trusting it to find a berth

on her welcoming shore

No feeling could compare

to acceptance in her arms

to find a gem so rare

with no restricting terms

only love to share

and endless charms

extended to my care

belief in self reaffirms

Life passed like time's sand

creating memories to capture

marching to life's band

no misstep or falter

with a legacy to stand

made through joy and laughter

never was there a love so grand

and they all lived happily ever after
