“Life,the Universe and Everything”











Sometimes…just when you feel all complete…

Just when it seem all right…and just when you begin to have faith…

…a little birdie called “life” knocks…and you realize you had a rather sweet dream…

 

Once upon a time a princess lived behind a fortress…

And the more she ached; a stronger fort was built…

It was a challenging war between the princess and melancholy…of who got to whom first

And the wall of this fort just became higher and stronger…

 

It was meant to shield her from the hurt…

And it was impenetrable and unbreakable…

…or so she believed…

Till the Prince met her at the highest point of this sturdy wall…

 

Brick by brick the prince tore it down…

Till the princess had nowhere to hide…

And he saw the heart which the princess had carefully armored well…

Intruding in the sanctity of where the princess belonged?

 

The sturdy wall was to hide the deep scars…

….from the not so compassionate world…

And definitely was not for the Prince to see…

…but the Prince did and all she could do was let him…

 

The memories of who she once was…
..the innocent and free spirit…

One who believed in blue skies and green grass…

And built hope on a shooting star..

 

Getting cozy by fireplace with snow falling outside…

Taking long walks on a moonlit beach..

Enjoying the rain drops…soft music, dim lights and long drives…

Were things which were life’s definition for the naïve princess.

 

However, these were secrets of the past..

Things the princess hid behind tall and strong fortress..

All the prince saw was the hardened shell..

… till he climbed the tallest wall and met the princess there..

 

Test of time taught the dainty princess how to build the fortress

…but never how to break it down…

Afraid to let her guard come down…
…she waited for the prince to show her how…

Brick by brick the prince tore it down…

Till the princess had nowhere to hide…

And he saw the heart which the princess had carefully armored well..

Is it somewhere else the princess really belonged?

 

“Can you feel the fear I feel of loving someone…

the fear to give it my all and risk losing it all…?” -the princess expressed…
“Is love enough to break down the age old walls so meticulously built –

brick by brick, stone by stone….?”..

Gently carving out a brand new beginning…

Breaking through all boundaries..

He created a boundary-less world.

A world where to hope is to live..


Gently the prince taught the princess to trust again..

He slowly but surely erased all doubt away…

 The Princess found courage to face the sun

And not cower behind the fortress she built…

Brick by brick the prince tore it down…

Till the princess had nowhere to hide…

And he saw the heart which the princess had carefully armored well…

Did with the prince where she really belonged?

 

The wall is no more…

..the Prince did break it down with love…

The princess is oh-so bare…

And has only love to embellish her…


She learnt to trust…have conviction in happy endings…

Facing fears she turned over a new leaf…

Most importantly she learned to love…

She began to stop missing her fortress…when “life” happened yet again…

 
Brick by brick the prince tore it down…

Till the princess had nowhere to hide…

And he saw the heart which the princess had carefully armored well…

Had the princess thought too soon – is behind the fortress where she really belonged?
