In the hush of twilight, where whispers dwell,
Echoes of fairy tales stir the air,
Unraveling threads of ancient spells,
Weaving dreams within dreams.

Once upon a time, in realms unseen,
Where dragons danced on silver wings,
And maidens dared to defy their fate,
A mirror’s gaze revealed truth’s embrace.

Through enchanted forests, where moonlight weeps,
And stars twinkle in silent reverie,
Legends bloom like roses in eternal bloom,
Each thorn a tale of love and doom.

Heroes rise, and villains fall,
In the symphony of a kingdom’s call,
Lands of glass and kingdoms of ice,
A dance of shadows, a sacrifice.

Yet in these echoes, in these tales untold,
Lies the heart of a child, brave and bold,
For in every ending, a beginning sleeps,
In every story, a secret keeps.

So listen close, where the firelight gleams,
To the whispers of echoes, to the heart’s dreams,
For in these verses, in these lyrical flights,
Fairy tales dance through eternal nights.
