A Fairy Ring Dance

Then Sophia replied: Dear Karl,
I am safe, look, nestling next to you,
forget the nightmares of the bad times
and let’s set off into the woods to chop
some wood and build a log cabin to stay
overnight and listen to the wood sprites
and other fairy creatures dancing – maybe
they will invite us to the dance, we shall
dance in the fairy ring, and have such a
good time!

The advantage of past bad experiences is
we know we are both brave and love each
other more than anything or anybody else;
let’s be proud of ourselves and each other
and forgive our tormentors. Those people
must really hate themselves to be able to
treat others so badly; those manipulative
courtiers give me the creeps – let’s enjoy
our happiness and freedom and celebrate
with all the wood’s creatures!

Yes, said Karl, his eyes lighting up, this is a
brilliant plan, I can’t wait for each delicious
moment of this experience unfolding!

And laughing like two children, holding hands
while they wandered into the woods, they set
off to organize a dancing party with the wood’s
enchanting creatures…
