Yesterday’s dreams…

Her shadow grows long across the grass, and still, she stays….
          And as she does, she dreams of all her yesterdays…
They dance about her in the waning light, and as she stands, she sways, 
the visions of her dreams entice her heart, and as they do, she dances on…
And as the shadows fall about, she feels the aches of past heartbreaks,  
the promises of the past now lie forgotten about her in the shadows…
She now wonders what will come as the darkness creeps on upon her…      
The comfort of the velvet blackness that lingers at the edge draws nearer,
and as it does she feels a slight quiver in her heart so sweet and tender…
The dreams and happiness of so long ago still tease her deep in her soul,
and she sways to the tune of an old melody that seems to echo still…
          The shadows ease on into the night, and still she stays…
            Swaying on in the moonlight to a tune only she can hear…
                      Yesterday’s dreams dancing about her still…
