The Secret

I think this will be it,

the last time we witness

belief, wonder and trust,

 belief in the myth 

we’ve gladly perpetuated

each year

whilst watching the

the wonder in her blazing

saucer-sized eyes,

this year we know

the bubble will burst

and with it the

first crack in her naivety 

and she will never fully trust

us ever again
