Two Sides of the Same Coin

Two princes born beneath the same sky,
One with laughter, one with a sigh.
Together they dreamed of castles tall,
Of kingdoms grand and a golden hall.

They shared the same crown of starlit hope,
Each step they took, they learned to cope.
In battle or song, in joy or fear,
Together they stood, year after year.

But fate, a road with two paths wide,
Whispered softly, pulling aside.
One prince was called to the heavens so high,
A kingdom's weight, a crown to try.

The other was cast to wander far,
A wanderer beneath a lone star.
He roamed through valleys, crossed the sea,
A heart of royalty, yet never free.

One wore his crown with elegance and grace,
Guided by light, in a royal place.
The other, lost in shadow's keep,
A prince whose dreams who were put to sleep.

They followed the same fate, the same call,
Yet the worlds they found were so different, so small.
One found his place in the court's embrace,
The other, a shadow, a fleeting trace.

Still, their hearts beat with the same old song,
Two princes, where they both belonged.
One in the palace, one in the wild,
Both forever bound, though fate beguiled.
