Lost in gentle snore
a night of peaceful slumber
sans the fairy queen
touching the girl that is me
she’s gone-I’m alone-and free

I feel a split vision here… find that child inside.

Interesting – how the loss of the dream leaves the speaker alone, yet free. Nice paradox.

What a strange mix of emotions as I read this with the freedom from childhood past that is often rued in later years yearning for those times again. Delightful.
