A Shattered Dream

The cool wind blowing lightly on her Curtain carressing her softly As she lies on her cozy bed Thinking and dreaming away Slowly till she lazily closes her eyes Not long does she visualize beautiful images... Oh, she's on a vast grassland With her pretty boy besides her While she's in his sweet embrace Both of them looking up at the sky Breathing in the fresh air Feeling the cool breeze Listening to the chirping of birds The running of water in the nearby stream And the rustling of trees She tells him "Someday, I'm going to give you a baby girl!" He just looks at her with a smile And she smiles in return with a wide grin She's never been so happy in her life Soon after, she falls asleep Letting out little snores softly He too does the same Aww...such a bliss... JUST THEN...... Dark clouds fill the sky They're awoken by a loud sound Thunders clap and lightning strike Strong wind is howling eerily Everywhere is so dark and scary There's no one in sight Large raindrops beat hard on them Everything is blowing away She has an uneasy feeling Sensing the danger She grabs him tightly For fear of losing him But he slips away from her arms Try as she may to grab hold of his hands To no avail, he's been taken away by the wind All she can see is his sadness She shouts and screams for him But he's no longer in sight Tears still streaming down her face Trying to hold on to a tree Afraid that he can't find her When she's not there For what seems like hours Everything is finally back to normal Calm and peaceful once again She can see the daylight Birds come flocking around Stream continue its usual path But he's no longer there with her Not anymore, try hard as she believes Still feels his presence lingering beside her Shuddering from the cold Still she refuses to move away From the same patch of grassland Where sweet memories lie Hoping and yearning for a miracle That he'll be back one day And stays by her side Never to leave ever again Days and nights pass Tears run dry from her now swollen eyes Alone and scared as she may Realization dawns upon her To her dismay... Her dream has been shattered She opens her eyes back to reality Thinking for a moment Amaze by her vivid imagination Tears attempting to well up Touched by the sad story There's only one thing That's going through her mind right then "I want no shattered dream..."
