It just happens so,
On a bright, sunny day
My head put to sleep in the clouds, numb and lazy
That I come across
A young girl strolling down the dirt lane
Her hair silver in the sun, her hands soft and delicate
My dreary eyes forced open by a face of indescribable beauty
The art of daydreaming took over once more
A lad of 25 I was, cheerful in his own state
A young bride clutching my arms, her flowing white dress a priceless treasure
“My fair lady, may this ring mark the everlasting love that develops between us…”
It was then at the same moment that a joyous voice rung in the distance
I opened my eyes, only to find her in the arms of another man
He who danced in a suit dark and treacherous as midnight
To ruin my only hopes
But immense courage has propelled me to win her back
Yet my pockets have disappointed me with a single, rusted nickel
After all that I have lost in a Casino by my hut of straw and sticks
A single thought brightened my day as I strolled along the dirt pavement
The vast oceans are home to fish just as beautiful
Maybe even those who see a man beyond his gold and jewels
As the lane came to a dead end, I heard in the far distance:
“This ring I have bought for you is of the upmost quality and pleasure”
Upon hearing this, I continued a daily routine of daydreaming
Only to be awaken
By yet another maiden strolling down the lane
Wow this was incredibly written! Thanks for sharing your piece :).
