Herald A New Day - Velvet Daydreams© - Kathleen McCoy Eldridge

A breeze is softly blowing
The sun darts behind a cloud
Flowers seem to be smiling
Dancing tall and proud


A glen tucked in the valley
Nearly hidden from view
Has created such a perfect place
For a promised rendezvous


Birds sing in rapturous harmony
With the rustling of the stream
Reclining on a bed of moss
She waits, perhaps to dream


Thinking of one who went away
With a vow that he'd return
As her love grows ever stronger
Her heart impatiently yearns


Reality falls by the wayside
Illusion in her mind encased
Lost in a world of broken dreams
Perception somewhat misplaced


Imagining the sound of footsteps
Holding her breath, she hesitates
Still alone in her quiet fantasy
With a lonely heart, she waits
