Genre: Poetry (From Sarah's POV)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that pertains to the Labyrinth. This poem is not for profit but a reflection of how much the movie means to me – rather than eat cookies and watch "Friends," it has inspired me to write.
I Dare To Dream
Maintaining your fierce energy
You walked before me dressed in white
Your hair was golden in its hues
You were framed by the soft moonlight
--
It was cruel to hold my dreams
Or see my dreams upholding you
But was it right to dangle light
Before the night was through?
--
You held a future in you hand
And I in turn your destiny
Here our paths will cross no more,
"You have no power over me."
--
You look so startled with my choice
A decision no one else could do
To forsake fantasy for life
To choose myself over you
--
And then you threw all you had
Into the starry sky
Vanishing within yourself
As the wind blew by
--
The bubble burst - your door had shut
Sarah Williams over king has won
Foolish heart to hear such words
"Sarah… What's done is done."
--
My friends are here to celebrate,
Something – someone caught my eye
Through the window whiteness flitted
Winging wild through blackened sky
--
It's then I learn the price I'll pay
Forever after, you and I -
Growing often hands you pain
Without a reason why.
--
Regret turned me and I stared
Into star studded eternity
I whispered a sigh only he will hear
A promise for his majesty.
--
"I dare to dream and think of you
…I dare to dream you think of me.
It's only forever, not long at all -
The length I dare to dream of thee."
--
I dare to dream.
