Once upon a time (an interlude in parts)

Once upon a time there was
A girl
Willing to chance another world
New and different
She relied on faith
And the courage to see it through

Once upon a time there was
A boy
Nervous to a fault
Constantly afraid that he didn't belong
But willing to push on
And see if he could be more

Once upon a time
They wished for more
Taking the first steps of many
Wanting to prove to the world
That they were, are
More than they appear

Once upon a time there were
Identical mirrors
Twice the strength
Twice the trouble
Twice the courage
All to hold on faith

Set apart to bring forth
A new beginning
A journey unseen and uncharted
The glue to hold the fringes
To mark time without ticking

Once upon a time
When there was nothing left
Running on frayed edges of hope
Too close to the ledge to jump freely
Yet brave enough yet to try

Once upon a time
There was the beginnings of a family
New and willing and something more
Once upon a time
