Grandma's Melodies
Soldier's Heart
Moonlight sparkles off the massive back of the soaring beast. A gulp shakes your little body- the monster is massive and carrying a lot of armor. Racing through the scales on its skin are the flickers of a moonlight swiped by its grotesque form. But you have the incantation your grandma's magical songs humming inside your heart. It has seen you through scary moments in the past and ended victorious. Tonight, armed with this, you begin to bounce, your shoes tapping an age-old rhythm of courage.
Taking a deep breath, you swaddle yourself inside the rhythm. The song fills up your spirit and swells hope until all the fear is pushed away to the corners. The resonation of song beats the surroundings like a pulse and restores determination in you. Stuffed in your pocket the jar of your grandma's magical jam quivers, bouncing off your rhythm. Beetroot-purple with dynamic sparkles suspended inside it, made with moonbeam flowers and love, glimmers a call to action. Rattling your chain of defense, the odds in your favor, you stand tall and ready for the challenge!
