The King and Queen

-- The Gift --
an original poem by Tora Khan for Tora's Hope

A woman, wandering through the woods,
looking for what she has never found,
around each bend, there appears to be the prize,
but it is nothing but masked sorrow,
until one day,
she stumbles over something, while walking near a lake,
she feels what she has never felt before,
her soul begins to shine,
and the stars take to sparkling from her eyes,
a friend, of importance unknown, helps her pass the time,
at a small inn, she asks a question,
one that will change the future,
the answer she gives, is pleasing to all that hear it,
her soul is poured, her secrets unmasked,
her dreams and wishes, revealed,
for she has found a love,
but not any love, she had found her love,
and with him, she shares all that she is,
a gift,
the gift,
is not what is recieved,
but what is given away.
