When We Are Ready

All too often we hold on to the vain imaginings of "What Might Have Been".  Long after the relationship is over and the love is gone (not to mention the lover), we hold on.  It's a painful process that takes time, tears, and the generosity of spirit from like-minded friends. Here I pay homage to the process of "letting go" as it were..something none of can do until we are ready.





When we are ready
We release hopes of
What we believed
Might be our
Happily Ever Afters

We open our eyes
To the light of the real world
And wake to a dawn
Without benefit of a charmed kiss

When we are ready
We break the spell ourselves
We click our heels together
Three times
Wearing sensible shoes
Because Ruby slippers won't do
In a world without enchanted frogs
And knightless nights

Sound the battle cry!
Light the fires
Hoist the banner
Move out to battle
We who are Champions
When we are ready
