My Dream Poem by Cynthia DeMoines

Drifting through the shadows she comes
her beauty vieled
her love lost and forgotten
she is not as she used to be
A lone tear cuts its path down her cheek
every memory forgotten
all thoughts held back
she drifts through previously shallow waters
it now laps her chest
her silvery blonde hair drifts in the water around her
her eyes glaze over and the color in them fades
the water cradles her in its gentle embrace
and the goddess of her mind sings her a lilting lullaby
she is gone
