A Fairy Tale

She was a fairy
But carved out of stone,
She stood tall on a pedestal, but lone!
Her wings were a beauty,
Like her, they were as white as snow,
And to touch just as dead and cold.
Came a magician once, that way,
Decided to instill life in her,
When her he embraced
Her being was born,
When her he kissed
Her heart lovelorn.......!
