The Princess of Eden

Mystical creatures beyond reality.

Long, magestic locks of hair
Bouncing with her every move
She quietly sits on a boulder
Crickets creating an orchestra as loud as a snare
She sings of a melody
An old one, so they say
The sun prying for an escape through the clouds
As the crolushes* leap from their blue city
Turning gracefully
Spinning with triumph
Splashing back into the pond
Leaves of the Zarbi** tree swivel
Whistling from the breeze
Still singing. she leaps with hope
As the rocks tumble on and down the stream
Never stopping, the Spotted-nose Wahler*** tweets
A warning made
A signal she has already been informed of
The lush forest now trailing into a gravel path
Escaping the hidden treasures
Arriving to the bland and remorseful castles
Stacked high and white
Before the knights would capture her and take her
Home...the place engraved with pressure
The forest offered her freedom
A sense of passion
But, as she barely made it home on time...
Those feelings would have to wait patiently.

*CROLUSHES: A fish, embroidered with swirled designs and a thick, tight-twisted tail.
**ZARBI TREE: A tree, of which Zarbi berries (edible) are grown attached to bark. Branches form at end of the leaning tree, while the end branch wraps around the rest to form a swirled design. Leaves dangle from the wrapped tree's bark.
***SPOTTED-NOSE WAHLER: A tall bird, yet with a body formed like a Chickadee. Peacock feathers sprout from the Wahler's crown, while it's long, crow-like spotted beak is an excellent adaption to the Streams. Behind it's plain white wing are small, brown dots lined up artistically.

Author's Note

This is about a princess who lives in the faraway land of Eden. She escapes to the forest to be free, because at home she is pressured to be perfect and restricted from any freedom at home.
