In the woods, the deep dark woods,
where the sun has never shone,
Lived the fairy princess Chandra,
where she lived a waif alone,
Amongst the roots and fallen leaves,
no one to hold her hand,
Or give a hug, dry fairy tears,
to help her understand,
The things a princess, a fairy princess,
must learn to be a queen,
And so she lived, forever young,
in the darkened woods unseen,
Except by creatures of the dark,
who gazed from limbs above,
Down on the roots and fallen leaves,
on a princess without love.

I heard this story from my mother,
so many many years ago,
She never told me what became
of the fairy princess though,
So to this day when I pass woods,
I often think I might,
Enter in to deep dark trees,
beyond the reach of light,
To find a princess, but I don't,
I know not the reason why,
Except perhaps I fear to hear,
a fairy princess cry.

Believe one hundred percent, please...
that you might find her
and dry her tears.

I love it Fisherman. Rhyming narrative is my weakness and here you tell a fine story indeed.

Oh my this is wonderful!
Yes, you must go there and find her..she is waiting.
Hugs~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

"And so she lived, forever young,

Excellent poetic craft.

A friend worked on the Chandra satellite and described it in very similar words.

Sometimes myth weaves with reality to form a tapestry.
