The Magic Tiara Sheds Some Light

She was sitting at her large oak desk

feathered pen in hand

she was supremely talented

so she could not understand

why her page was empty

though she'd dipped her pen in ink

how long this curse would last

Sissy shuddered just to think

Trying to find inspiration

she read so many tomes

she read of far off places

of witches and of gnomes

Then something happened

when she'd been gone a week

her fans gathered outside the castle walls

it was her words  that they did seek

They weren't an angry mob though they

carried torches for light

they said help us Princess Sissy

for our world is always night

Every soul amongst us

just wants to feel the sun

we used to feel it in your words

but lately there's been none

Princess Sissy ran back to her desk

desperate now to start

the pain of her followers

was enough to break her heart

Then she noticed next to her page

a beautiful, glowing Tiara

as she slipped on her head

she felt the resurgence of her aura

Then she dipped her pen in ink

and wrote many amazing things

she wrote some lines more beautiful

than angels earning wings

Running to the window

she dropped the pages down

her subjects read so intently

that no one made a sound

Then she said "My loyal subjects

please no longer feel fright

Where once there was only darkness

my  Tiara has shed light"
