She sits hidden away in her room alone with her toys that kiss her and hold her tight turning turning dancing in the shadows trailing her hair in the dust catching patterns in the light...

She sees creatures behind the glass crying with a voice she heard once in a childhood dream

Falling through a window she once shattered

Clawing her face to escape wings that beat inside her head...

She smiles down at the flowers and leaves she saved for all those years now gone mingled with memory tears and laughter sharing hero's fanfare hidden away behind walls living on in candlelight...
