this is a passage
that leaves no stone unturned
security scrutiny @ every corner and every turn
awaiting for the arrival of a commoner, average
to be greeted by the pomps and pageantry along this passage
get out of the wedding car, above average
smile, broadly smile
in the arms of her father, walk along the aisle
flank by dignitaries of just about every other countries
who have taken time off, to attend this ceremony
very s l o w l y
vows exchanged, finally
proceed to the upper balcony
kiss & wave to those who lined the passage
then cheerfully
the now princess, be whisked off to the golden horse carriage
yes, it is her turn
indeed, when fate makes a turn
it could be a downturn or possibly an
upturn
but never a U-turn
such is the truth legendary!
