Legend of the Sand Dune Princess
Legends of the seas,
Washed up on the white, crystalline shores,
Countless untold stories,
Unlocking new doors.
If each shell was able to tell its own tale
In the wash of the tides, in the wind and the gales.
A story of a princess in the sand dunes of time,
Locked in an oblivion, of a world without rhyme.
A story related by the seafarers,
Of times long ago,
Of a young princess,
And the magic gardens she sowed.
It is told, that her father, the king of the sands,
Betrothed her to a prince in a far, faraway land.
The little princess who so loved, her cherished white shore -
And, a father's royal command, which she chose to ignore.
Passed on as a fable -
For many hundreds of years,
A prince from tomorrow,
A young princess' tears.
Rather than take passage to a frightening new land,
Leaving her cherished, gardens of sand,
The princess chose not, the easier course;
She would employ her one, only, tour de force.
An elixir taken in the mid of the night
Changed our little princess to a dune in the sand.
And even if we fast forward, to this very same day,
She's managed to evade, the king's pre-nuptial plan.
Now, never more separated from her gardens of sand,
She sits on the beaches overlooking the tides.
United forever in a union of love;
Waiting on a lonely beach, with the sea at her sides.
Legend says if you look closely
In the sunset of eve,
You can see the little princess,
In her royal garden reprieve.
It's also said, if you hold your ear to the wind,
Tween' the roaring sounds of the emerald green sea,
You may hear a small plaintive voice calling -
Enticing an understanding Prince Charming, to come set her free.
