She stumbles through the door
'Anybody home?'
Home
home
home
home...
'I guess not.' he grins 'Let's go exploring.'
Hand in hand they travel the halls.
He becomes a prince, she a fair damsel.
They are running from the evil dragon.
'Close your eyes.' he says 'I'll rescue you.'
She believes him, and they run.
Scampering over stone.
She becomes a queen, dressed in jewel adorned robes,
He a stable boy awed by her beauty.
'Close your eyes.' she says 'Do not be afraid of me.'
He listens to her, and they run
Running on to the next room, climbing the steps of the tower
Panting and laughing they stare out the window at the sunset.
She becomes a hermit mechanic, he her trusty aide.
They play at building time machines,
Just to capture the moment in which they are happy
Running free through the castle and imagining themselves
At other times and other places
Somehow they are sure, they would still be in love
And their hearts beat
As steady as the earth is turning
And they run through the castle, racing each other out the door
Into the sunset.
The work of a girl-woman whose sole talents are writing and being lazy.
