a story

a little girl when she was little dreamed once
day by day she grew and so did her dream
she grew awkward
started doubting the beauty and truth within her and her dream
the world did its best to mislead her and confuse
then she grew more
started forgetting her dream
sometimes a flash of something would bring it back
like the first sight of the sea at night
of snow and the gurgling mountain river
like a flock of sheep staring at her innocently
like a starry sky
like early morning dew on flowers
and the crispness in the air
like the azure blue of a clear sky
but slowly the world climate changed
stars wouldnt show at night
the sky turned a permanent grey
beauty was left only in new borns
in those incapable little fingers and bawling new members of this world
she was an adult now
devoid of dreams
this one person came into her life
squirmed his way in
bringing surprising innocence into her life
she marveled at first
at his childish happiness when they were together
she got reckless and carefree
disovered that little girl in her
and they abandoned all care for the future
.......
there were happy days and sad days
both deepening their love

then doubt crept in
the doubt that dreams dont really come true
his innocence couldnt deal with it
and she was in its grip
little nothings hurt her
strengthened and fed the worm

i hope what i imagine is not what happened...
