Bedtime story with a twist.. : )

An odd bedtime story..

I make these up time to time to spur thought.. 



Once upon a time  there lived a dark prince whose wonder reached beyond senses... Beyond skies .. Beyond time... 

And this prince once met a princess... Who's mystery and whose sense... touch...And breathe... Whos passion could fill the skies..   But who insisted rigidly..  That she could only fill the skies upon midnite... But by dawn.... Would block the floodgates... 

The prince let loose the princess ... To wander the land in search for truth.. 

One dusk.. She crossed paths with a dove... the dove said to the princess... I can teach you peace and freedom...  Fly as I can fly... And you will know peace and freedom... 

the princess.. Said... I so  would love to fly as you fly.. So free and at peace.. But alas I have no wings....

The princess continued her journey.. Still so wishing to understand the prince.. 

Another great night.. The princess met a snake along the path.. Saying.. I can show you how to love.. Glide as I glide... And you will know love...   The princess said..   But I cannot glide and slide as a snake... So does this mean I shall know no love?   

So the princess continued on growing weary of the waves and the tide of the strength ... Passion.. and wonder by night..  And the undertow...  Dam building by day.....

One such night she met a dolphin.. Who said swim  as i swim and you will know how it feels to truely Live and breathe... 
The princess thought.. I must not be able to truely live...and breathe.. As I cannot swim as you can swim...  And surely would drown if I tried... 

The princess continued her journey and met with her shadow.. One dawn..  and said.. I have no wings..... But yearn for peace and freedom
I cannot slide and glide gracefully... But am so full passion .. Shouldn't love just follow... 
I Cannot swim.. In the depths of this  sea...  Without drowning
But surely I can live and breathe 
If I can maintain hope... 

then the princess thought of That wonder filled prince... 
And thought what truth really is it that I seek.. 
It should be my truth..,   I've been holding out trying to find my princes truth... But.. Truely.. What I need is my own... 

The princess thought...I do not need wings of a dove to be free or to know peace

I do not need to glide and slide as a snake to know love...

I do not need to swim as a fish .. To live and breathe.. I can learn to swim my own way 

So the princess said.. In my heart.. I can learn to fly.. And soar...  And can find my own rhythm... There r more  ways to love...  
And the hope I still have is my life preserving joy...  To keep me from drowning when them dams burst... Or them floodgates let go...
