Spinning Wheel

Spinning wheel
So pretty you shine
Your beauty is
Beyond divine
You pull me in
Like snared thread
I can hear your thoughts
You wish me dead

Turning Turning
Turning round
Weaving beauty
Weaving sound
Mountains come
Alive in you
Rivers flow
Gray doves coo

Your spindle pricks my finger but
I really do not mind
I watch the dot of scarlet life
Swirl down my hand and bind
Me to you
And you to me
Sleep descends
From inside thee

I feel cold
So long it seems
I lay here on
The carpet seams
As life grows all around me
The princess no one seems to miss
Only woken
By true Love's kiss

Years and years and years go by
I never seem to age
But I am conscious of the world around me
As nature takes the stage
I wish I would just leave
My body here to die
To soar with the birds into relief
To soar into the sky

No one's coming
My true love can't exist
I will lie here forever
Never to be kissed
By my savior
My awaker
My reviver
My remaker

Never feeling pain
This life doth suit me i suppose
vanity is my companion
To stay as perfect as a rose
I might lie here forever
Guess I should except my fate
Sing the song of forever sleep
Never to enter eternal gate

Dust will settle
Vines will grow
Creatures will die
Yet none will know
Of the beauty who lies perfectly
In her castle filled up with
Lives locked in a sleeping hell
A fate that's worse than death
