Dreamer (A Poem By Lady Elisabeth)

You nervously touch one high-heeled toe to the pavement

Your family waved at you as you stepped in the taxi

Taking you away to the big city

You're on your own now

You step from the cab

Pull your trenchcoat tighter

To lock out the cold

Its unnecessary

Your excitement is keeping you plenty warm

Even through the New York winter

You traipse through the streets

Wandering

Wondering

Waiting

You think of a song

If you can make it here...

But that's all you can remember

You keep walking

It looks aimless

But

You know where you're going

Even if you don't know the way

The sun is setting

You run

Finally

You could see it glowing in your mind's eye

Times Square

Sparkling lights every inch as glorious as you imagined

You stand in the middle of the street

Cars honk at you

Wondering who you are

You twirl

Your vintage lace skirt flares out

You are an angel

You'll be a star
