Tumultuous images
Whip through forest glades
Of my afternoon daydream
Real life happenings
Unrelenting 

Where to turn for comfort 
Assurance the world
Is still beautiful?
All is not lost?
Confounded 

A flash of snowy white
Glistening pink 
Ripe and soft 
To touch, I imagine
Delighted 

No justification needed
To escape by reaching
Hopeful fingers toward
Your hand in my imagination 
Elation
