Rapunzel and the Crane

A story of girl who locked herself away

Her locks of streaming silver array

Rapunzel was her name.

A story of a crane who wanted a friend

Asked for a witch to help them in the end.

Together tied into one

The girl locked in a tower she made

Fearful of others and life itself

The Crane who watched from afar wishing to talk

Wanting only a day

Both greedy for themselves

Yet much too fearful of their wants

Helping each other

The girl realized that the tower was not a place to live

The Crane came to say goodbye only to leave with the girl by its side

Together they wandered, free and joyful until their dying days.

…

Smiles shared between two

“Where should we go today?"

A greedy smile

Eyes bright in their excitement

Blooming forget-me-nots at their side

“Anywhere. Today, tomorrow, and the next we’re free to be."
