Beauty Sleep

PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

She lay in front of him the fairest sight one ever beheld.  The legend of a sleeping beauty rumoured to be asleep for a hundred years was true indeed.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

What a story!  He had succeeded where others had failed. The impenetrable thorn-hedge, a barrier to adventurers, had yielded and let him pass.

 “But a hundred years older that’s seriously uncool”.

Maybe the story of the girl living with seven dwarfs would be worth investigating.

Still my guitar gently weeps

Last week was busy and the weekend was spent in travelling so I missed out last week's episode as country roads took me home.

I can't seem to stop incorporating songs from Beatles into my stories, this week's offering contains words from one of my favourites.  George Harrison's masterpiece While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I also have another entry in for this week.

    Dear Subroto,

    You may feel free to incorporate Beatles songs anytime. A clever take on fairy tales. Nicely done.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Thank you for covering one of my all-time favorite George Harrison songs. Not sure what I'd do with a 100 yr. old woman. Dealing with one who's 59 is troublesome enough.

      But thanks for your comments Russell, I am glad you liked it.

    It could be he's afraid if he wakes her those years will return. Or, maybe he just doesn't care for older women. Well done, Subroto. :D --- Suzanne

      Age is just a number but 116 is just too big for him to handle :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Suzanne.
