The Mysterious Menlo Castle
Dangan River
For years, we walked along the river's edge looking longingly across to the other side of the divide. Horses, green green pasture and a large ruin from time long past looms enticingly like a silent invitation for adventure. We'd sit across from all this mystery, dipping our toes into the chilly water, and dreaming out loud about someday finding our way over. Sometimes, we would see a couple of young Irish men fishing, their dark silhouettes a stark contrast against the pale Galway skies.
I would yell in my not-so-accurate olden English:
"Ahoy people from the land afar. Thou art indeed there? We beseech thee, O Good Men, the way to your place~~~"
It seemed appropriate. To speak the language of Kings and Queens.
But those dark figures don't reply. And my voice, loud as it may be, gets carried away by the gentle wind of The Dangan River.
Someday. I tell myself.
Someday. I'll finally walk those grassy plains of wildflowers.
Someday. I hoped with all my might.
Someday. I'll get to see the view from the other side.
Someday....
-------------------------------------------------------------
Believe it or not: That someday finally came!
Trudging through the path less taken.
The quiet serenity in the land of fairies and pixies.
Couldn't put Izzy back together again.
Where would our futures take us?
Easy does it.
Tell me your secrets, and I'll tell you mine.
Smile with me, World.
