Once brilliant tapestries were displayed upon most majestic castle walls, marble floors held delightful dances as orchestras played magical melodies while Lords and Ladies conversed hidden behind gloriously decorated masks lively laughter was once heard fades slowly into our memories. The sounds of silence reign in long lost forgotten corridors. {Revised to meet the five words ten line criteria which was so gently pointed out to me by my mummsy , with much appreciated thanks.} If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... {On wings of words our spirits fly~ and our souls are free. ~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (11-09-2002 08:05 AM).] |
