Sleeping Beauty
I would live in a kingdom like this.
Would I? Where princes are allowed to go
with elaborate bows with long, stretched legs
to an always smiling king and motherly queen.
Such appreciation for every gift of grace and motion,
such care that nothing offends. Would I leap and spin,
and grin my loving, basking in company,
and gently whisper as I pass those without weight
who nearly fly over the gravity burdened earth?
