A tale of a fair maiden
as pure as fallen snow
has such an enduring legacy
in more ways than anyone
would ever truly know,
and even with the darkness
as black as ebony
within her hair,
she still openly demonstrates
tender love and care,
and a breath of fresh air
would be absolutely necessary
to effectively cope with reality,
and even if fantastic tales of chivalry
might appear sentimental,
such timeless stories can still be fundamental
as well as incredibly essential,
and never underestimate
the darkness within femininity,
especially since something beautiful
could actually be magical,
and an enchanting spell
that would stand the test of time
could even reveal
how the mystery within the darkness
could actually heal
by showcasing the pain and the heartache
associated with anything real
