Real Toads prompt
What would it be like if we were stuck in (or have regressed to) the past? Write from the perspective of yourself or another person (real or imagined) who can’t seem to live in the present or look forward; someone who dwells in a supposedly more magnificent or rewarding past time, and behaves accordingly.

He looked magnificent
Lean and tall
Upon his chariot
I watched in awe
His bow and his arrows
He carried with grace
Strength of a warrior
But gentle of face
He seemed so familiar
Yet I knew him not
Who was this stranger?
With eyes tender and soft
Graceful and ethereal
He looked so Divine
Joyous he made me feel
Somehow I knew he was mine
Did he know that I watched him?
For suddenly he smiled
My senses he made them swim
As his eyes beheld mine
My garland of flowers
Upon his neck looked so grand
His heart he empowered
Into my trembling hands
In a time long gone
Was this love sweet and pure
A match made in Heaven
Through aeons it endures
Let me stay in that moment
When his eyes beheld mine
And true love was unspoken
And hearts were entwined
For great is He, my love story
Greater than any in time
The greatest ever in glory
And supremely sublime
For great is He, my love story
Greater than any in time
The greatest ever in glory
And supremely sublime
My take on Sita's view of Lord Rama
(And don't forget to read Lord Rama's view of Sita at She Looked Most Beautiful)
