Prelude To A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time
over the hills and far away,
near the sea there lived
a viridescent princess. 

She gazed at the waves
which seemed to appear so royal.
Still, they have freedom
that grace the scullery maids.

Rushing to the edge 
stopping short of going forward.
The story of life. 
Her crown seemed to possess her.

Forced to become rogue,
battle the storm below the sea.
Go off on a quest,
exit as a true leader.

Create a culture, 
surf underwater mountains.
Happily ever after,
over the hills and far away.
