A Dreaming Idealist
she dreams under crystal raindrops from lightning drenched clouds
slivers and shivers from a magical place unknown to most
diamond sparkles sprinkled on the grass show her feet the way
prancing in delight, she visited the otherworld in its entirety
Enjoying tulips, lilacs, lilies, gardenias, and succulent smells of orange
A perpetual dream that keeps her safe and unaware of daily worries
given to her by ancestors whose souls went to heaven long ago
she stirs briefly, and there is a hush in her heart, but just for a second
then the dream resumes and she is saving puppies, kitties, and children
An idealist, a humanitarian, and a caring woman, merely dreaming
