The dawn always broke,
Before the story ended.
The nights always heard,
Strides of her foot steps.
In mesmerizing voice she told,
A new story, yet again.
Myths and legends,
Heroes and demons,
Shook the silence,
Of many moonlit nights.
Death clung,
Like a bud;
Waiting to blossom-
To every dawn that passed by.
The dawn always broke,
Before the story ended.
Thousand and one nights went by,
Before,
A story was told,
The world- about her!
