It was risky but there was this overwhelming desire to just do it. What if something went wrong? She was being silly. Nothing could go wrong. She made her way through the path, toward the ivy covered towers, and through to the castle doors. Pushing hard against them, she entered the chamber, cautiously looking about, hoping to find nothing or no one that would put a stop to her quest. As she turned again, there he stood. Her heart stopped, as a sinister sneer crept across his face. She encountered the one thing she never gave a second thought. Death.

She is a wandering spirit, the guardian of the light

Keeping watch on her castle, a maiden, in flight

Her gown made of flora, quite the princesses wear

A crown of the same, make her dance upon air

Through fields full of green, and skies ever blue

This is her homeland, to which she remains true

Friday Fantasy ~ Celestial Dreaming – #poetry

Misty mountains, hear the call

From yonder castle keep

Spirits glide along the river

To hill tops, far and steep

Their energy, lights up the sky

In colors, pale and blue

No reflections do they cast

As they wistfully bid adieu

Ethereal beings, swept away

Into the starlight, streaming

Become celestial, in every way

Into the heavens, lay dreaming
