Lantern illuminates her darkened path
through bitter city
of dream's ghosts and ghouls
she heads for the only place
she knows for safety
her mother’s arms
creeping softly to cemetery
for a bedtime story

Oh I need a tissue cause the tears have come!
Beautifully sad and so heart-touching I almost don't wish to leave the screen cause I feel her longing for her Mothers arms

Stay safe
