Princess
© Tim Barker 2000
This is a story, of a princess in a far way land. But
she was no ordinary princess, she was the most beautiful of all the princesses
in the known lands. However, although she was exceedingly beautiful she just
couldn’t find happiness. She’d play games with her cats but that didn’t raise
a smile. (Which was unusual, as she loved them dearly). She’d go for long
walks in the wondrous wilderness that surrounded her castle but she remained
stony-faced. She’d even sit by the river at night and bathe in the silvery
moonlight but her heart was never lifted. Then one day, while out walking
in the nearby forest she came upon a fairy who took her hand and guided her
to the heart of the matter which held the Universe together. The princess
realised the simple truth of her existence and was filled with awe at the
many possibilities that lay before her. She embraced the fairy, smiled then
went back to her world where she still lives to this very day !
