Always a Dream

She turned around again, confused.

Left? or Right?

Up? or Down?

Here? Or There?

Shaking her head, she straightened up.

"This won't do!" she declared, to no one in particular.

"I must pick a direction!"

So, she closed her eyes and spun in a little circle with her right hand outstretched.

She opened her eyes to find herself looking at a dark forest.

"A dream!" she beamed.

A Bunny Rabbit hopped in the distance.

Maybe I'm dreaming of Alice in Wonderland.

All that spinning had made her dizzy so she lay down for a while...

But when she woke up, she heard voices.

Sitting up, she saw people were all around her; playing with the animals, swimming in the sea, sunbathing.

She shook her head sadly and got up to leave.

"Won't you stay?" asked the little blue eyed boy

She smiled at him and closed her eyes, spinning again.

Maybe she would just wake up this time...

But it was always a dream.

She never woke up

And she always had to leave...
