Not long ago, but far away,
‘cross waters where the dolphins play,
the Princess lived her life within the walls
of captured dreams she couldn’t touch,
and needs gone unfulfilled as such,
the Princess just existed, that was all...

But even though her life had been
devoid of laughter, and a friend,
deep in her heart a childhood dream remained
Though try she might, it lingered there,
and made the Princess well aware,
when Destiny awaits, all things will change...

A magic box of power great,
became the helping hand of Fate,
which held a key of freedom for her soul
No longer bound by metal walls,
or anger lurking in the halls,
She’d found that life went on, beyond the cold...

Then one day, normal though it seemed,
she met the Prince of whom she dreamed,
so long ago, back in her days of youth
His Princely charms were bold, yet sweet,
he laid his heart there at her feet,
and deep within she knew he spoke the truth...

She gave her hand, she gave her soul,
her heart was far beyond control,
on wings of love she flew into the night
The Prince awaited in his land,
where, by her side, he took his stand
All dragons from her past, he vowed to fight...

To all who read and pause in thought,
from daily life this tale is wrought
The Prince and Princess live and breathe as you!
It’s not your ordinary tale,
no faeries fly or witches wail
But sometimes tales are sweetest...when they’re true!!


The road goes on forever, the stories never end, and people are the same the world over!

Certainly no ordinary tale here, Sunny.  A very nice ending, by the way.

Lucky are you, and lucky is he.

"Fairy tales can come true ... it could happen to you ..."

Ahh ... what a wonderful work!  Those medieval tales of knights and ladies and Prince and Princesses always captured me as a child, and they still even fill my imagination as I am older.  It's nice to know that there still is a bit of magic here in the real world of our reality.

I love to weave dreams of just such as this believing not in them. Your words almost convince me that maybe reality can be more beautiful than all the dreams that can be woven. **hug** may the magic of your life fill you with eternal joy. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

~~~ Vicky ~~~
Oh so good to see you too!!  I don't get a chance to be home here as often as I would like to these days, but when I do, I am always blessed with visits from my good friends such as yourself!!  Thank you!!

~~~ Startime ~~~
Oh, yes....take it from a hopeless dreamer....reality certainly IS more beautiful than what we can think up! It is the stuff that our dreams are made of in the first place, in our minds.  All we need to do is to open our spirits up to the possibilities, and watch what happens!!  Thank you!!

...you are me, I am you, we are one...
