Sleeping Beauty Ii

Watching her precious priceless light...
Standing at their kitchen's window wearing 
Hand me downs, worn blue dress; she her auburn
Strawberry curls hiding, such dreamful eyes; gazing past
This lonely wishful glass; just to lie amid a bed of dust; rest her weary mind escape....
Time's empty us ? Her beauty's heart in a tin can, if you must; sleep, sleep, sleep, my love.
