Day Dreamer
A boy she secretly adores now stands
beyond the doorway, and his eyes, grey blue,
are fixed on her. A rose is in his hands.
Her heart is fluttering. What should she do?
A sheltered girl, required to spend her time
on music practice and the study of
the scriptures, she prefers the art of rhyme
and topics like the rapture of true love!
The young man watching her has now drawn near.
He’s come to rescue her from drudgery!
Embracing her, he whispers in her ear
familiar words - her own sweet poetry!
She’s called to dinner. All thought leaves her head.
The lover and her muse - with him - have fled!
