Words are like keys if you choose them right, they can open any heart and shut any mouth.


As the sky began wrapping itself in gauzy lay’rs of night

And the glorious stars threaded through its luscious robe glowed bright

While a soul-stirring song undulated in silky moonlight

And the creatures of darkness began to writhe with grace and might


Through the ink thickened air and across sleeping towns rich with dreams

Sat a dainty girl with car’mel curls and her skin like sweet cream

Weighed with longing she stretched out her palms and began to craft schemes

To obtain her bold wish written hopefully, sealed in the seams


Of a world which unfolds in a beautiful tale full of fire

And ideas are everything to a child blessed with desire

To pursue their vast passions and spark someone else to aspire

And obtain boundless heights that this one thought began to inspire


For the greatest of all innovations begins with a seed

And this girl had been stricken by an obsessive and fierce need

To become something more than she was and to always succeed

So she stood firm and chased down her dream and refused to concede


And she brought her ambitions to life, tugged them down from the clouds

Unafraid to stand up for her vision despite doubting crowds

And she grew to become a fine woman who stood tall and proud

Against all opposition unwilling to be fazed or cowed

This is great... all seriousness. I love the style and word choice. The story being told is very intriguing and really kept my attention throughout the whole poem.
