The Glass Slipper
Virginia Salter

resting there upon the shelf
casting images of joy
my eyes scan for reflections
of those moments of employ

the sparkling lights of candle’s glow
the music on the air
voices of laughter
had we really both been there?

its loneliness personified
in its solitary lie
of echoes in my memory
my heart does fear rely

so strange it is, I tell you, Sir,
to hold one tiny part
of the magic of that evening
anywhere outside my heart

to dream a dream so glorious
gives wings to lilting glee
could you be somewhere dreaming
little dreams, Sir, just like me?

This last verse reminds me of moments when dreaming of that "first love".
Very nicely written.

Hugs,

Hi VAS,

I have a few little pieces of the past that I peer in on occasionally and have wondered the same thing, this is really wonderful enjoyed very much, thank you.

Love, Cerenity

Thank you all, Titia, the glass slipper is what Cinderella war to the ball.  One fell off as she was leaving the castle at the stroke of 12 midnight.  She had one with her...thus my poem of it being on the shelf and Prince Charming had one.  His men sought the kingdom for the foot that would bit the one he found on the palace steps.

This was a fun fantasy to write.

He's out there, VAS.  You just have to wait for him to find you, and he will.  When the time is right.

Oh, liked this one a lot. Don't you wonder if the other partner remembers with such depth, the things that we do?
All sorts of levels in here, to me.

Do you think the Prince was thinking of Cinderella after she staced down the rairs and slopped her dripper?
The answer, of course, is yes
