//-------------------------------------------------------// Angel Of The Snow -by Golden Fang Ryutora- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Angel Of The Snow //-------------------------------------------------------// Angel Of The Snow There once was a little filly sweeter than candy With a smile that could make anypony feel dandy Her coat was as blue as the azure sky Catching the eye of anypony flying by Her mane and tail where whiter than a sheet Gaining the attention of all she may greet With a voice that was softer than a summer breeze With eyes of blue to make anypony freeze As beautiful as she was, she had a disfunction One that kept her from making a whole junction Her eyes of blue were sadly shadowed grey Making her unable to see what one would say Or see the color of her own hoof Let alone the one she had on her roof It also left her wondering what the world looked like If it was as soft as a mattress or as sharp as a pike Or it was as beautiful as the wings of a swan Or ugly as somepony using another as a pawn This disfunction made her a target for others Be it mothers, fathers, sisters, or brothers They mocked laughed, and tore her down Pushing her in water as if wanting her to drown Ignoring her tears and her pleas to stop Letting her fall as if she was a pebble to drop Each and every night, she cried in her bed Craving for a comfort she wanted to be fed Something her covers could not seem to give her Letting her tears flow out like a river And stain the outlines of her beautiful fur After crying from a moment, she wished did not occur Every starry night, she looked out her room Wanting to fly go up there on a broom And wish for the one thing she always desired One that she hoped would not be expired The need to show them all and make them all see That while she may be as fragile as a bee She could be just as strong as them And not the weak filly they tried to condemn On all nights like this, she made this wish One she thought that was clean as a dish She wished, she hoped, she dreamed, would pray That the stars above would light her way And give her a path she hoped would stay Then one day while she was at school Working with snow she saw as a tool She was given the chance to prove her worth To bring it all out in a single girth Like a mother mare in the trials of birth Once away from school she began her task The light from the night allowing her to bask And allow her beauty to be seen by all Even from the being as beautiful as she was tall By the end of that night the filly finished her work Holding it up with a bit of a smirk Although unable to see, she could hear it clearly Taking it in a hold that was just as dearly And showing it to her mother so she could see All while they discussed it over a cup of tea The following morning, the filly stood proud In between the colts and fillies in a crowd In front of the wielders of the sun and moon Both looking like they came out of a cocoon As the sun princess spoke, the night princess chose to listen As her mane, tail and are continued to glisten Before her eyes locked right into the filly Who looked at her with a gaze she thought was silly That was the spark the little filly needed And all others watched as she went and proceeded Displaying her project for all to witness Letting them see its beauty and fitness She went into a speech as deep as the sea Making all eyes go as wide as could be All while the queens continued to gaze Looking like they were trying to go through a maze By the end of the speech, all where kneed deep Into a heartache that made them want to weep Including the infamous princess of the night Something that would’ve made all gape at the sight Before her sister could speak, the Night Princess took the lead Her heart bearing an ache that made her want to bleed And ask the filly to make another flake A request that sounded sweeter than a cake With a beaming smile, the filly agreed Happy she found the attention that all would need And with a laugh she mirthfully embraced her mother Doing so that made all think she wanted to have a smother That very same night, the filly had a dream One that would’ve made one want to scream She came face to face with the Princess of the Night Who gazed upon her with a much clearer sight Despite knowing she could not do the same And see her do her very best to be tame She thanked to filly for the gift she gave Not really knowing how else to behave In front of the one who’d soon be her friend And take her on a journey she hoped would never end As the years went by their bond continued to rise Rivaling even the entire kingdom in size They laughed, they cried, they fought and hugged Sharing a love that could never be tugged They shared in each other’s happiness and sadness Unaware of the Night Princess incoming madness One that would soon tear them apart Doing so with the speed of a runaway cart Soon, the Night Princess began to change Acting like she had just gotten sarcoptic mange The joy in her heart replaced with rage One that could not be held by any caged All thanks to those who hated and feared her Seeing her as nothing but an incoming usurper Further and further the Night Princess fell Into a seemingly unending well With nopony there to help pull her out Not even the Snow Angel who was always up and about No matter how much she tried to cry and beg Even going so far as to offer her own leg The Snow Angel could not get through to her friend And fix the patch she tried desperately to mend Then, the Night Princess finally snapped Making all who were close enough feel trapped As the darkness inside her pulled her in Making her an enemy to her own kin The Princess of the Sun tried all she could To make her sister see all reason that she would And bring her soul back into the light And chase the darkness far away from sight But the Princess of the Night was too far gone To the point her rage could have forever went on Entrapping all who were helpless to escape Making them feel as if they were choking on tape With regret in her heart, the sisters then dueled Clashing with power that could never be cooled All while the Snow Angel listened on her part Feeling the battle wage deep within her heart As quickly as it started the battle came to an end And the Snow Angel tried desperately to find her friend Only to by stopped by the Princess of the Sun Who crushed her fears like a bullet from a gun Saying her sister was no longer with there Not in any other place no matter where In the incoming years, the Snow Angel would morn Filled with a heartbreak that was forever torn One that nopony would ever be able to heal Or be able to keep it in any type of seal Although she was sad, the Snow Angel did not lay Refusing to restart the game others liked to play Remembering the promise that she made to her friend One she’d ensure would never come to an end Doing so with a will that refused to bend As the years went by, she stayed true to her word Making more flakes with the swiftness of a bird Even as her mind and body continued to age Going with the grace and gentleness of a mage When the Snow Angel finally took her last breath She made a final wish before passing on in death A wish that she’d see her friend one last time And greet her with a voice prettier than a chime A thousand years passed and so did the change Going in a seemingly endless range With ponies growing, aging and passing Doing so as if they were in one great massing At least the Princess of the Night came back Eager to see her friend and get back on track And make up for all the time both had lost While she lay on the moon feeling colder than frost That hoped was crushed when her sister gave the truth Giving her a gaze that was nothing short of ruth Telling her that her dear Snow Angel was gone Having passed on with the grace of a swan This revelation crushed the younger sister Making her wail as if covered in blisters Bringing both rulers in a hug between sisters As she mourned, the Night Princess could not even smile One that seemed to be father tha a mile A smile that could only be brought by her friend That would soon meet her on a path few could trend One night, the two friends met once more Leaving the Night Princess shocked to the core A shocked that soon turned into emotional joy As if a filly had gotten her very first toy The Night Princess pulled her friend into an embrace Caring not for being regal or her grace Letting her tears stained the fur of the mare The only one who truly seemed to really care As the dream went on the two shared a talk One that could never be written with chalk One of the good times, the bad times and the present A talk that could tear the heart out of any peasant As soon as it started, the bonding soon ended The rift between them finally mended Having given all the apologize they could give With both wishing they could still truly live With a final hug, the friends said goodbye Both doing their absolute best not to cry Knowing they would each other again once more Be in the sky or on a beach shore The Night Princess frowned as she watched her friend vanish Into the snow that all seemed to banish The very same snow that she held unlike no other Like a wailing foal wanting the touch of its mother Although she was gone, the Night Princess was not sad For she was not torn, but instead she was glad That she got to see her friend for one final time Having made a wish like balancing on a dime And regardless of long it took for her to pass And her body to be buried far within the grass The Night Princess did, and would now always know That she would always have her Angel of the Snow Author's Note For confirmation, this poem was inspired by the Animation Film: Snowdrop
