Echoes in Dreams
Her sorrow is an endless tide,
never leaving, a stubborn tide,
and never changing, growing light
or reflecting the happy sun's light
Because the sun isn't happy
and she? How can she be happy
in nightmares such as these, where
her parents aren't there. Where are they? Where?
But the doll changes that.
Good dreams: there are that
and the doll gives them to her.
The sun, and her parents, are there with her.
It doesn't matter that everything else is gone;
without her parents and the sun, life's meaning is…gone.
