I've always been drawn to tales of princesses and kingdoms;
of fairies and magical lands;
As a child, they weren't given much thought.
As an adult, i slowly became enchanted.
Those winged creatures that flit and fly in a light breeze, laughing gaily;
Those sirens and mermaids with hair so long and perfect,
swimming along the current of the sea;
And tales of princesses and their quests in finding prince charming.
In a world ruled by technology and a world
that believes that information is power,
turning to these creatures invented by imaginations of geniuses
is a breath of fresh air.
I've always wondered what it would be like to live as they do,
to be them or be with them.
With fairy wings, I get to fly where I want and
live in a place where green dominates;
With fins, I get to enjoy the ocean and
discover the beauty that lies in its depth;
With a castle to call my own, I get to wear colorful, lavish gowns,
attend balls and soirees and get the romantic antics prince charmings do.
Life gets to be a big adventure one can only dream of.
Wouldn't that be just nice?
The spurts of color,
The lightness in mood,
The beauty in the midst -
are only a few of the things that has me enthralled.
Perhaps the greatest would be that in all of these mythical and magical fantasies,
they all have one common thing.
This is what has me enchanted and leaves me in sighs -
The happily-ever-afters that they have in the end.
