Dreaming Sleepless

She likes to dream on days cloudy and grey to avoid focusing on her home of stay. She likes to dream when she feels lonesome and blue; to compensate time's passage for fortitude anew. She likes to dream when sky beams yellow; a bright sunny day cheers her countenance to mellow. She dreams also in the dense black of night just before struggling not to dose and enter fright. She likes to dream after showers on a multi-colored rainbow, beginning to show promise of future life destined long ago. Perpetually wishing in thought on what she should do- a child's coping mechanism for discontent needing rescue. Dreams contest originally written in 1960's
