Into the Mystique


Picasso: Faun, Horse and Bird, 1936














There’s magic to be found
for those with open minds,
mysteries abound
that go unseen by human eyes;
tales of old still told—
secrets passed from kin to kin,
that blatant non-believers
will attempt to criticize.
“Fairy Tales” they whisper, just
in case someone should hear
for if such creatures manifest
has never proven clear.
Dancing on the fringes
of our reality,
perhaps such creatures do exist…
perhaps they’re fantasy

  5. I always believe they do exist somewhere, if not in this world then surely in some other world !!!

  6. Perhaps they are fantasy but they capture our imagination and you've woven that well into your poem.
