The Music Box Dancer
Sleeps
in velvet lined vault
dreaming
of music
that will allow her
to dance.

Oh, I found it sweet, as well. Sleeping and dreaming ~ rather wistful.
Thanks for the great prompt!! 🙂
Paula, don’t get me wrong, I love this piece of music, but the image reminded me of the centuries of women who were kept in ‘their’ place, only allowed to do and be what was expected of them, a sort of sleeping and dreaming existence, waiting on the ‘music’ that would allow them to move. And really glad you liked the prompt,
Elizabeth
