Musebox: The Castles in my Dreams

The Castles in my Dreams

There is a time, between the velvety gloaming and sunlight’s first blushing rays, when I dream of castles, flying dragons and magic. In this world I roam verdant hills, and dash through ermine clouds of wildflowers, to rescue a princess of faery.

Long I seek. Fiercely I battle her cruel captor. His shape that of a dragon at times, and at others a black wizard, a dark knight or a demon foul. Always, she fights at my side, her courage and smiling face granting me strength when I waver. A young child stands with us, casting balls of baleful fire at our common enemy, until at last evil stands vanquished by our strength.

I awake and for a moment fear to loose the ethereal ties of this magical kingdom. Then, I glance at the sleeping form of my sweet wife. My princess. I walk to my son's room and marvel at the happiness reflected on his dreaming face. Our magical child. I listen, and in the distance seem to hear the bugling call of dragons.

I smile. The fairytale has followed into my waking world.
