Tears

She tried to sleep..
But sleep would not come..
Tears fell..
sliding across the bridge of her nose..
dropping silentl on the pillow below her..

Thoughts of lost hopes ..
and vanishing promises..
Raced through her mind as the tears
continued to fall..
silently landing on the softness below..
Finally..she slept..
exhausted from her thought..
and tears..
But the sleep was restless still..


She Dreamed...
She dreamed she was in a huge rose garden..
surrounded by the most glorious roses
she had ever seen..
Laced in a white gazebo..
Roses of red and yellow..
white  and lavendar..
such beautiful shades and colors..

She was wearing a white Dress with lace..
Sandals that laced up the calves..

She danced about in her dreams..
until she saw a man, she thought she knew him....
but she wasn't sure...

He came to her..
took her in his arms..
danced with her..
They seemed to hear the same music
in their heads..

And the roses began to twirl and the colors
blended together..
Twirling so that she was almost exhausted ..
then he stopped..
He kissed her softly on the mouth..and bid her adieu....

As he left ...he turned to face her
And she stood very still..
Then he turned back and walked away..
sadness in his eyes..and then he
disappeared into the mist..
And she cried..as tears poured from her eyes..
and dropped softly on the pillow below..

Laurie..
