A Daydream
Her mind wanders back to happier times
Far beyond this day at the keyboard
And the verses she had written in loneliness
Will he ever hear her song
Is it worth the effort
Surely, he must know how much he’s missed
Memories of lost love capture her attention
Lyrics came easily
But melody still eludes
She recalls joyful days they shared
Wondering why they had to end
Leaving her to dream of what might have been
She dwells on how her heart was stolen
Even her own words cannot describe the pain
As melancholy's oboe begins to play in her head
Time will heal her wounds
But she must release heartache
Through her gifts of music and poetry
These gifts she still longs to share with him
Her suffering spirit is challenged
To resurrect tender moments of time
For a brief period she knew true love
Did he ever feel the same
Did he mean to cause her pain
Daydream ends with a musical score
Reflecting the sorrow she has endured
Notes of grief she sends to the world outside her daydream
