I gaze into the quartz ball, and he appears,
Pegasus.
We whinnies in greeting and neighs an invitation.
I place a hand on the crystalline orb and it gives.
I land softly on the grass of the Dream-World beside him,
Instantly taking the form of my true self.
I am Serenity, Princess of the moon.
I reach a hand out to him, and caress his cheek.
He stands, walks to me, and I climb aboard.
We fly.
Soaring, we rise above the levels of normal consciousness,
And before me now is my home,
My realm,
The Silvery Orb of the night.
It has been many a year, since the Lord of the Winged Stallions
Was my Lord too.
I see not the Lord of Horses, but instead read the
Lord of the Rings.
I drift silently off over the pages of that fantasy domain
And enter another.
"It has been long, my Princess."
A familiar voice whispers in my ear.
I turn around, the white skirt of my Elegant Gown swirling about me.
Pegasus greets me.
My pink hair falls across his withers and to my ankles,
As I embrace him in greeting
I stop and gaze into the reflecting pond in astonishment.
I am a grown woman.
The horse I was embracing is now a man,
The prince of my dreams
As well as those of all girls.
But he has chosen me.
Helios gently takes my hand,
And leads me deeper into our own private realms of dreams.
