In Castle High
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
As ebbing tide, leaves sandy shore,
My dreams drift out to sea,
~ A kaleidoscope, of wish and hope,
With prayers they'll come to be.

Perhaps one day, a prince will come,
To my heart, he'll hold the key.
He'll kiss my lips, then on his ship,
We'll sail across the sea.

In castle high, against blue sky,
My prince will marry me.
In satin gown, with diamond crown,
A princess I shall be!
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

I am reminded of Cinderella with this piece. You dream nice dreams..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Pegasus ~

You comment about Cinderella sent me on a search for a castle to add to this post! Thank you! I think it adds a nice visual touch to my poem!

~ May it be your dreams of sweet that come true!

Beautiful dream, Linda, loved the ballad form...

Oh, BluesSerenade, the castle is the Neuschwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps.

The Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland has been modelled after it.

Hmmm! I wonder what other passion you might be referring to! Flirty

Since you finally made it to the top of the hill, I suppose you are now King of the Castle! ~ and not just a Guard of it!

We all need reminders that dreams can come true.  This dream sang like a song, and I like the picture of the castle, too.  Me thinks our Earth Angel has her prince!  hehehe   ......jo

A very romantic tale, Linda and here's hoping it comes true!

Ah, to be a princess living in a castle with a royal coach awaiting.

Marvellous Marti ~

As you know, I did find my prince. Actually, he found me! ~ and I am so thankful he did!!!!!!! I just wish it hadn't taken him so long to find me! Oh well, better late than never! Now I really am a princess ~ or at least treated like one! Princess

I hope you are well. I've been thinking of you, my friend.

Loving, healing hugs,
Linda
