So many pages, so many lies

Leather bound and yellowed

After all the passing years

The stories haven’t mellowed

Dog eared corners, wilted

Covered over, dusty layers

Marked, the chapters, bitter

By all the supporting players

No truths were ever spoken

White lies, against black ink

Were written by the scribblers

Who never stopped to think

Imagine the stories it holds

Gathered, on the wisp of a feather

Hurry up, she’d always say

Having all the time in the world

Speaking curtly to everyone

She watched, as they unfurled

Making sure the laundry was folded

And the beds, all properly made

Vacuuming carpets completely

Ne’er forgetting to dust the lampshade

She held them all accountable

They’d cower, at the look on her face

Making sure they were tormented

In this house on Grayson Place

Stories are still told about her

How nasty she was to her staff

Yet, no one really knew of her existence

She’s just a woman, in a photograph

A jar kept tightly covered

Found its way into her hands

Its light was like no other

Glowing, golden, simply grand

She couldn’t wait to open

Take a peek, to look inside

What she found was magical

Their light was magnified

Releasing them into the air

They glistened, all around

She watched in awe, the beauty

Of the fairies she had found

Each one told their story

Of how they came to be

Thanking her a million times

For finally, setting them free

With the crash of the ocean

In waves of voices
