Came To My Aid
A morning with no sleep
School looming a few hours away
A face of depression realizing the day before me
Today was a struggle
A struggle to wake up
To go to school
To stay awake
To make it home safe
While on the train I slipped into my world
Blackest night lit by only a few street lamps
Snow blankets the houses making them cozy and snug
In the middle of a lane scanning the scene in front of me
A face appears in the darkness
A face belonging to a woman
Snow blustered and flew between us
The woman was too far to see clearly as the snow swirled around us
She wore white in a form of a ball room gown
And moved as if not connected to the world
Her grace and unsurpassed beauty made me quake and shiver
First came voice calling my name
Then her arms outstretched and searching for my embrace
A face with a large smile and blue eyes sparkling their star pattern
Her hair in long curls brushing her shoulders
Atop which sat a tiara
My girl
The girl
The only girl
Was there in my world
Rushing to her
Running into her embrace and holding her in mine
Gripping tightly as the snow slowed and flowed lazily in the air
Time slowed to let us be together for longer
I took her hand in mine and bowed
“May I have this dance” i asked
Curtsying and saying, “I’d be delighted”
Our hands intertwined
And her hand on my shoulder, mine on her waist
We began to twist and turn as music softly played in the night
Her smiling face was the last I saw
The train shook to a sudden stop
Here I was, home at last
Checking my phone I saw the time
And that my girl called me
She thought of me too as I slept
“Don’t worry beautiful” I whispered
“I’m home”
