Attempts to conceal anything real
might appear as a way to heal,
yet given the hidden mystery
within an unknown destiny,
there really would be difficulty
within the acceptance of reality,
especially since history
would dare to uncover the past
while magical mythology
could be like an enchanting spell to cast,
and while on the journey towards discovery,
myths would be helpful to know
even if they were from a long time ago
as a way for people to know
how magical life could truly be
in spite of the nature of reality,
and by living life day by day,
there must surely be a way
to honor the present within today
no matter what anyone would ever say,
and ultimately find the perfect opportunity
to learn from tales within mythology
to live a life filled with everlasting beauty
