Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

ONCE UPON A TIME…

Once upon a time from a very long ago
Lived fair maidens with wavy red tresses
Who ran spiritedly along lush, green hills
And floral scented meadows of Timbuktu

Sweet melodious serenades many a sung
From the goldfinch to the mistle-thrush
Feeding off delicious berries or juicy bugs
In sunlit tops of flora and grasslands there

Sparkling crystal waterfalls flowing down
Into rivers and lakes on into the endless sea
Golden colored fish swam with the rainbow
Protecting the buried treasures of yesteryear

Seasons of time fade into eternal thoughts
Grandeur happy occasions exists forever
Whence love, peace, ‘n’ contentment resided
In the minds of these lovely maidens of ago
