Maiden Dreamt

Visions creep in
Quiet at night
And like dust, she gathers softly

My mind is filled
My heart is light
Yearning for what could be costly

For I feel in dire need
And glimpse my life ahead, changed totally
All because a dream has cast one seed
And changed perceptions subtly

So how are you, maiden dreamt, so different from the girls of lore?
How and why, did you appear, and alter who I was before?
