Queen of the Castle

for the Rhythms and Writing contest

Descending a mountain in a far away land
passing a lake, for a moment I stand
taking a breath of fresh air
enjoying the silence

I continue my journey through a forest so deep
I have to be careful, this path I must keep
to reach the valley in this faeiry land
a deer peeks around the tree

The sun is going down, changing the sky into gold
now I hear music, it's beautiful, behold!
as I follow the path that leads to the castle
in the middle of the village

A man comes towards me, he's kissing my hand
and on my finger, he is placing his ring
"Come, join the celebrations, she is finally here
Our Queen of the Castle arrived!"

People play music, they dance and they sing
as I am able to quench my thirst with cool, clear water
I am not dreaming anymore.
