What Sleeping Beauty Dreamt
January 8, 2013
Yes, after the journey
out of the forest, they load
poor Beauty with glittering
stones, satins
never suspecting that she felt
the wood and sky
more than a gold coin-
but then one crimson drop
forces her lids to shut
for one thousand years...
Reveries in that space of time
came of earth whispers, trees,
and a family she truly felt in her
heart, and could not deny-
Only to wake, breathe
finding a stranger claiming love
Well of course she wept, and
all the harder when
they handed her a tiara saying:
"Now isn't that better?"

Huh---a new different twist on an old fairy tale. I like it! No one ever thinks of the "in-between" parts to a story---everyone's like "when does the prince come and save her?" or something. Cool~
