maybe not what was there BEFORE 

how do we know that magical creatures don’t exist? just because we haven’t seen them doesn’t prove they aren’t real.

what if clouds really are cotton wool and we can sleep in them? but airplanes move too fast for us to know.

flowers and forests are my home.

I walk in a snowy pine tree forest but I don’t feel cold. All the little woodland creatures greet me as a friend.

I’m looking up at the stars, but the stars are too distant for me to see that they’re smiling back, hoping that I’ll be okay.

what will my future hold? any day now, I could do something I fear terribly and all my dreams will form into a reality.

all the swans in the mirror lake know my name, they sing for me and tell me their stories.
