Interlunation

Children are safe
within
their once upon a time
COCOON
safe in make believe-

fantasy
fables
and
fairy tales

safe in
their innocent
unreality
protecting them
until their wings
are able and
strong enough
to hold them aloft
when it truly matters

reality waits…
hiding at the back
of the moon
lurking in the
interlunation

waiting for
the chance
to break through
the paper
thin
sheltering walls
of their
imaginary world

waiting to
show them the truth
of how they will
spend
the rest of their lives…

as an adult
