Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time

On a planet

I once was born

A God in my own right

In my heart

And in my soul

I was all things in flight

I happened once

Upon a village

Things were unlike I knew

A beautiful place

I remember still

It’s there I first looked on you

Stars in the sky

A billion fold

Under passions eye they wink

A Goddess found

How remote the chance

Into oceans deep they sink

And who was

I Among so many

That you would share a look

But blind are we

In this so big

When fate has cast its hook
