Dancing Stars



Oh dear - no Java!!!!
Clouds


  
A world long ago when dragons flew the sky
There was a knight with a fate still unknown
Many a quest he had ventured through
Only to finish as he stood alone

He had a friend of a golden heart
Who showed him paths throughout his days
As they sat on a cool spring night
This friend told him of his fate

The fire that warmed them was a gentle glow
With the sparks that danced in air
The smoke that swirled and took a shape
Of a lovely princess with golden hair

Sir Knight his friend spoke in a very low voice
Look ahead at what you now see
To the destined journey your life must take
Look ahead at what this might be

The knight looked deep into the fire and the smoke
Feeling nothing but cold that clutched him so deep
Dear friend I see nothing but the smoke in my eyes
Help me understand what it is that I seek

His friend moves across the way
Then lowers his head bringing them eye to eye
Sir knight open your heart and look again
It is right in front of you shining so bright

His friend shuts his eyes and bows his head
As an ember takes flight into the sky
The knight watches as it reaches up to the stars
Then fades away into the night

Its then that a voice is heard as the stars start to shift
Coming together as one then a beam of light plummets in
Down to the fire and explodes in a burst
As he sees her face and hears her words

My knight I have waited for such a long time
In a prison I am kept locked far away
You are the knight which holds the key
You hear my voice and see my face so it is time you set me free

Then as quick as she came she was lost once again
As his friend lifted his head and spoke these words
Sir Knight to find your heart and your soul
Pick up your sword for your path now takes a turn

Then they both rise as the sun touches the land
Sending a shadow as far as the eye can see
His friend takes flight and yells down to the knight
The end is near now please move your feet

The sun rises high then sets once again
Then the moon passes by as they journey on
To the next rising sun that fills the sky
On a castle so strong

The knight with only his sword and his friend up above
Makes his way to the castle then scales its tall walls
He then sees a princess in a tower cross the way
He fights his way to her as all the doors start to fall

Reaching the last door strongest of all
He works with all his might to clear the way
As it falls down in splinters to the stone floor below
He takes her tight in his arms as night takes the day

Then out of the castle he whisks her away
To a clearing in the forest where he sets her on her feet
As his friend flies over then sets down close by
Speaking these words to both he and she

Your paths have now joined a new life you now lead
Two hearts once lost have now found their way
Your spirits now dance together
You have become one till your last mortal days

After which you will dance in the heavens
Two stars shining brightly together in delight
A legend for all future lovers to hold close
Knowing true love is never out of site
