~::~ Resplendent dreams ~::~ 

She lay numb in resplendent dreams

Fairylands and orange sunbeams

Blown away with the zephyr slow

Love unknown whisper voices low

.

Away from loneliness that screams

She lay numb in resplendent dreams

Mellow moonlight and dancing trees

On rainbow waters waddling geese

 .

Frothy rivers with gentle waves

Pouring out heart’s innermost craves

She lay numb in resplendent dreams

Whilst a tiny ray of hope gleams

 .

Amidst the chaos of her life

She found visions sublime and rife

Emanating from joyful streams

She lay numb in resplendent dreams
