A PRINCESS’S JOURNEY

In the realm of love, where hearts entwine,

A tale unfolds, where courage does shine.

A princess, adorned with grace and allure,

Ventured into a night, stormy and obscure.

Against the howling wind and rain's fierce dance,

She braved the elements, taking a chance.

For deep within her heart, a love did bloom,

A love that defied kingdoms, caste, and gloom.

Through the darkened village, she hastened her pace,

Yearning to reach her lover's warm embrace.

But the storm raged on, with thunder's roar,

As lightning illuminated the path she bore.

Amidst the tempest's wrath, her anklet fell,

A token of love, a tale to foretell.

With anxious eyes, she gazed behind,

To find her cherished anklet, intertwined.

Under the lightning's flash, a sight she beheld,

Her anklet nestled where two snakes dwelled.

Fear and trepidation coursed through her soul,

Yet her love's beacon guided her as her goal.

Kneeling on the sodden ground, she began to pray,

Beseeching the serpents to let her pass their way.

With folded hands and a heart full of devotion,

She pleaded for mercy in the storm's commotion.

Miraculously, the snakes slithered away,

Leaving her unharmed to continue her sway.

In the gentle rain, she retrieved her precious token,

Resilient and determined, her spirit unbroken.

Undeterred by peril, she resumed her quest,

Love's flame burning bright within her chest.

Through trials and tribulations, she pressed on,

For love's power outweighed fear's con.

With every step, she defied fate's decree,

A princess forging her own destiny.

And in the arms of her beloved, she found,

A love that surpassed barriers profound.

In the annals of love, her tale shall reside,

A princess who in adversity never denied.

For love's fervor knows no bounds or strife,

And the princess conquered all, to claim her life.

So let this tale inspire, hearts young and old,

To pursue love's path, courageous and bold.

For even amidst storms, when darkness abounds,

Love's flame shall guide us, where hope resounds.
