Bring her to this field of exuberant color and grandeur,
let her hum a medley of joyous tunes,
as she darts across the narrow lane in warm uncontained glee,
leaving a trail of crumpled leaves and rattling twigs,
worry being systemically crushed beneath her soft rhythmic footsteps.

As dawn descends,
tiny points of twinkling shiny light,
delicately decorate this canopy of dreamy heaven,
she gazes upon the illuminating moon,
and marvels at the eloquent beauty of nature,
is this wishful thinking? She asks.
now in a faraway place,
her heart sees a Neverland of promises,
where dreams will be realized,
and she yearns to fall among the star..

REALITY needs to momentarily stay clear from her territory,
just for this little while, she pleads softly,
where she is all alone,
gingerly cocooning herself in a land of make believe,
and smiling her warm glowing smile,
she’ll spend some tender loving moments,
with her once too often neglected inner child…
