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
