Literature Text

And, at the dawn of a new day,

Feet that have never known a moment of war

Fly over hardwood that is no longer charred

To the room of a young lady who only

Had a full night’s sleep last night,

Not three years of slumber,

And he will tell her he loves her,

And that he’s glad she’s finally woken up,

Without knowing just what he means.

 

Husband and wife will wake with

Tears in their eyes and hands

Tightly knotted,

Will tell each other they missed

The other half of their soul,

Though they have never spent a day apart,

But it feels like it’s been years since

They’ve seen each other’s faces.

 

A lonely young lady will wander out

Into the garden to start a chat with

The young man she thinks she dreamt

Holding her at knifepoint, pinning her down

With dagger eyes and needle teeth

But acts like a complete gentleman now,

Even offers her a freshly cut rose

For her time—no one has ever

Come out to speak to him

In the morning before.

 

A queen gives a patient smile as she

Listens to her subject’s problems and

Worries, forms a thoughtful answer to each

And her king sits next to her and smiles

As well, because, oddly enough, he can’t

Seem to remember the last time he saw her smile

Like that, though he can’t ever remember a time

When she did not smile like that, either.

 

And a young warrior who has

Never once truly fought a day in her

Life sits across the kitchen table from

Her older brother, wondering why she just

Can’t stop thinking of Basil, though she

Has no idea who that is, and her brother

Can’t help but marvel at how the world suddenly

Feels balanced again, and wonder when

It is his princess will return to him,

Dragging her other knight behind her.

 

They all hope it will be soon.

I managed to finish the end before the beginning, typical me... But I doubt most know what this relates to, so...yeah.

There is an inherent Disney-ish feel to this piece that I utterly adore.
