CARMEN
THE MOON WAS SHINING ON A SILVERY SEA, AS THE NIGHT BREEZES BLEW SO GENTLY AGAINST THE SKIN OF A LOVELY MAIDEN, WHO WAITED FOR THE MAN THAT MIGHT BE
THE ONE WHOM SHE HAD WAITED FOR FOREVER, IT SEEMED TO HER. SHE HAD KEPT HERSELF FOR THE ONE MAN THAT WOULD LOVE HER FOREVER-MORE.
SHE WAS LEANING AGAINST A SLANTED PALM TREE. AS THE MOON SHOWN UPON HER BLACK HAIR. AT A DISTANCE HE SAW HER GREAT BEAUTY, AND HE STOPPED AND STARTED TO STARE.
HE SAW HER FORM, HER FACE, HER HAIR, HE WONDERED WHY SHE WAITED FOR HIM. HE DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD SAVED HERSELF FOR HER ONE , AND ONLY, MAN.
HE WALKED TOWARDS HER WITH A GREAT STRIDE, HE TOOK HER HAND IN HIS, HE, THEN AND THERE, ASKED HER TO BE HIS BRIDE, FOR HIS LOVE HAD GROWN WITHIN.
SHE TOOK HIS FACE BETWEEN HER PALMS AND LOOKED DEEPLY INTO HIS EYES. SHE SAW WHAT SHE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR, A MAN WHO WOULD NOT LIE.
THEY WERE MARRIED IN A SMALL CHAPEL ON THE EDGE OF THE FOREST THERE. THEY BUILT A HOME OF JOY AND LAUGHTER, AND THEY HAD A LOVE BEYOND COMPARE.
CARMEN WAS FOREVER HAPPILY MARRIED TO THE VERY MAN OF HER DREAMS. HE LOVED HER BEYOND MEASURE, AND WORSHIPPED HER ALWAYS, IT SEEMS.
