Sleeping Beauty

The story’s old

We’ve heard it many times

Disguised in different forms

Different thoughts and dreams

A princess

Left alone and forgotten

In the dark of winter

Frozen through all these years

 

A tale from long

Distant years ago

A truth the people discarded

As fiction

 

They’d forgotten those days

Before the curse had clouded

Over the castle

They’d forgotten those days

Before the roses wilted

And the vines of thorns tangled around

The towers

They’d forgotten those days

When the castle was open to all

They’d forgotten their young princess

A girl they had so loved and cherished

 

A few years ago

Some still thought of her

Still talked of her unusual disappearance

On the eve of her sixteenth winter

But now all was forgotten

The city bustled about

Busy as ever

Loud, energetic and completely awake

While the beauty of the tower

Sleeps on in that eternal gloom

Awaiting her true love

And his kiss

To awaken her

 

Sleeping Beauty
