Dreamcatcher

Storytime by Pajunen at Deviant Art

Catch me a wisp of dream
of all that is beautiful: 
star-speckled skies
and deep purple mountains,
souls flying across the heavens
and hearts believing
that only good things will come.

Let the dreamer still sleep 
in the rosy hues of dawn,
blissful in her forest,
draped with old man's beard.
Let her lullaby be the
unceasing song of the sea,
and grant her a mermaid's tail
for just this one night.

Allow no bad dreams 
or night terrors in,
so that bed is a boat 
sailing across starlit skies,
tinged silver by the moon,
bathed in stardust,
the sleeper smiling,
happy,
before she wakes.

Oh catch me a dream like that!

Ella's prompt at Poets United's Thursday Think Tank is: Dreamcatcher. She includes an interesting description of the Lakota legend of the dreamcatcher on site. I have, of course, dreamcatchers. But last night I dreamed one of my usual dreams: where I have a HUGE cluttered warehouse to clean, filled with stuff, and I am even lugging drywall around. The kind of dream you are relieved to wake up from, hee hee.
