Little girl’s dream
Of that magical moment
That passionate whirlwind
of                                                emotions

Growing up,
That moment is
Depicted to be absolutely
One hundred percent                     perfect

Little girls expect
To be swept off their feet
by                                                Prince Charming
The sight of fireworks
Exploding in the distance.

As I age, I wonder
Does any little girl
Get swept off her feet?
Does anyone truly see an
explosion of                                   fireworks
bright pink and rosy red?

The build up of that
Moment is the

Of its beauty.
Preparation removes
Spontaneity, and
Therefore, all the                        passion.
