A Daydream

An ornate vase brightens the dimly lit room
 Where a beautiful girl sits,  deep in  thought
  And as her daydream begins to bloom
 She reaches for the the dreams she's sought

Perhaps she's composing a symphony
Or playing in a concert hall
Maybe she's had an epiphany
Where rhapsodies enthrall

She may have a song in her heart
Whose melody she's trying to find
And as I watch her daydream, in abstract thoughts divine
Her song she thus imparts
upon this page of mine 

 She  places  one hand  on the piano, in delicate sleeve of lace
 The other   rests   thoughtfully on an open book
As  she journeys to that distant place
Where  only the mind can look
