A chapter in the book Expressing Myself

Lucid Dream

by playinaround

Dawn always comes too soon
in the darkened room

In her dream-like state
a creature arrives

A cerulean butterfly
to chase away her pain,
and silent suffering

She covets its magnificent wings
as it hovers and glides
illuminating the darkness
of her soul

She follows its every move
as it slowly fades
and returns
to the hope chest
in her mind

Wearily she whispers
as if to someone else

"It's okay Valerie
take your pills
It'll be okay"

Start the coffee
Comes the day
