motionless, never getting old.
The Crusade Wars and Templars
came and left,
as she still lay on her bed. No one
knew how to wake her up.
Napoleon, Henry the Navigator,

the witch had declared, eons back.
One day, a young man from the countryside came
with nothing but his brush and paint. He loved Sleeping Beauty’s

passions in every stories he heard about her.
One who wanted to really know her had come.
One who truly loved her had come.
Slowly she opened her eyes……
