To Speak with Fairy Tales and Faith
My poems walk winding roads.
One road is faith.
God’s grace anchors each line.
The second road is imagination.
Castles, lost crowns, winged lions—yes, please.
I believe stories shape souls.
Parables proved that long ago.
Fairy tales do the same today.
They sneak truth past our defenses.
To Speak binds these roads together.
Light meets legend.
Prayer meets once-upon-a-time.
Below is a peek from the collection.
It nods to every “sleeping” dreamer who hopes for that new, bright day beyond the horizon.
Sample Poem — “The Sleeper Wakes”
She hears the thirteenth clock strike noon.
No prince breaks the bramble gate.
Instead, a whisper cuts the curse:
“Rise, child of dust and dawn.
Storms need singers, not silence.”
She stands on shaky ankles,
brushes off a century of hush,
and speaks—
one word,
bright as brass.
Words like these fill the book.
Some bloom from Scripture.
Others bloom from story.
All ask us to wake and speak.
