Water lily

Palatyne - Water Lily

She loves the ponds, the dark ponds,

though she longs for the deep waters that she could not reach.

When captured by her mothers curse on the mountain, guarding the treasure of the father she hated, a cold mountain pond was her only solace from the draughty chambers and the snakes,

The water lilies she cared for and nowhere are they so lustrous and large as they are in the pond she bathes in.

And nowhere will they open at night, in the moonlight and glow, as if they wanted to enhance her beauty, as she enhanced theirs.
