Glimmering Glow

Somewhere,
somehow yesterday
this nurse
let down her guard
and in walked
a sense of pride.
She chased
and chased away
the shadows
of herself revealed
from the object
of her desire.
The sight
was not a pretty one
for invisible
she seemed to be
as one more beautiful
in nature
blocked out her
glimmering glow.
Now
she turns to leave
real slowly
as the glimmer
that never was real
glows
within her illusional mind,
and the world
of reality
but a nightcap
away.
