The Story Weaver

In a garden filled by inky night she reads by fairy firelight with dreams of magic and of cheer, in a land when fantasy draws near. Where unicorns flutter in mid-air, and fairies shimmer with stardust hair. Dragons twirl brazenly in a silky clouded sky, while knights suited on horseback stoutly ride by. Grinning trolls armored with riddles creep to divert from their overgrown castle's keep. The moon princess softly trills a serenade, and frolics in an open cornflower filled glade. Flaxen mermaids with encrusted combs of stone sit on tufts of a verdant seaweed throne whispering tales of prized treasures aglow buried deep beneath in the sea below. Stars blanket in the velvet overhead as she sits and savors the legends read. The sights found in writings all retold are worth more to her than pirate's gold.
