Neuschwanstein Castle

At the very top of the mountain where the air is thin
Sits Neuschwanstein Castle where it's always been
 Nestled midst  tree tops  now wearing autumn  clothes
 Red, gold, and orange garb as everyone knows

The castle perched high atop this rocky peak
Is beautiful beyond words. No words can I speak
I scarcely can breathe. I make not a sound
It's majestic beauty nowhere else can be found

More than one tower reach for the clear azure sky
Each of the seven different, some low some high
With a backdrop of purple mountains that rise
To the heaven and the picture fills my eyes

Dare I walk this majestic castle's halls
With paintings of ancestors on the walls?
Carpet of rich crimson receiving my weight
Afraid my presence will forever desecrate

Royale purple velvet cover sofa and chair
Beautiful walnut and marble tables everywhere
Heavy chandeliers of crystal hanging high
Golden brocade hung on the windows catch my eye

So much beauty in one place takes my breath away
I'll never forget this castle 'til my dying day
At the foot of the mountain looking up at the view
I say with reverence "adieu, adieu".
