Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine...
Rapunzel felt as the last line of the magic song rolled over her tongue and past her lips. She watched mother's face fill with youthful life, the grey streaks in her hair darkening until they were the same shade as the rest of her night-like black hair.
"Oh thank you darling flower, your singing makes me feel young again..." Mother smiled the same sly smile Rapunzel had grown to know. "Sweet, won't you help me down from this tall tower? Mother needs to go get ingredients, I'm making hazelnut soup, your favorite!"
Rapunzel smiled at mother, "Of course," she let her blonde hair, all seventy some feet, float down to the forest floor. Rapunzel watched as her mother slid down the length of her hair with ease, then again Mother had been doing this for several years.
"I'll see you in a bit, I love you." Mother would coo. Rapunzel would always reply in her lyrical voice, "I love you more..", "I love you most." Mother would reply, thus ending the goodbyes they had shared daily.
When Rapunzel saw mother's shape disappear in the distance, she ran to retrieve her paints and paintbrushes from her bedside. Tomorrow being her eighteenth birthday, and the same day she always saw the floating lights in the night sky, she had an idea of what to paint. Finding room amongst the thousands of other paintings she had conceived during her lifetime, she covered the small, blank area in a sort of midnight blue shade. Rapunzel painted the floating lights, trees, grass, and finally herself. She smiled at her newest masterpiece. Too bad she was the only person to admire it. Mother never cared and Rapunzel lived in a secluded tower, only mother knew the location, and since Rapunzel wasn't allowed outside, she didn't know where the heck she even was. Rapunzel sauntered over to her bed and layed down, she had no one around and time to spare before mother was to return, so she decided that she deserved to take a short nap.
