Dreams

A willow tree graces my back lawn,
O'er turf soft enough to dream upon.
I lay beneath it's dancing fronds,
And the boundaries of awake are gone.

The winsome waving willow wands
Paint purple ponds and pixie dust farms
Slumbering there beneath my dreaming tree
I never know what wonders I may see.

A vision of flying a-dragon-back
To a cave atop a rocky crag
There alighting from my telepathic steed
Sighing at the vista, what a lovely scene

An adventurous quest, seeking magical gem
In conical hat and floor length hem
Affixed to the hilt of a mighty sword
Guarded by a goblin wizard's ward

Be-winged I find myself with jeweled dress
Diamond buttons marching down my chest
A graceful wand with glittering star at crest
Vanquishing Wicked Witch of the West

Speeding through a meadow filled with flowers
Gifted by a Unicorn with nature's power
Running side by side with that silver horned wonder
For the joy of running and the sound of hoof-beat thunder

Happening upon a mischievous leprechaun
While holding a four leafed shamrock to wish upon
Wishing he'd gift me with his pot of gold
And an enchantment so that I will ne'er grow old

Rumpelstiltskin, spinning straw to gold
A prince and castle as has been foretold
I wonder if my sleep is spell cast compelled
If I am needle-pricked enchantment-held

To dance upon a petal of rose
A tiny pixie in repose
Using powdered pollen to polish my nose
Be-winged and mirthful if one of those

Perched inside a faerie ring
Of magical mushrooms in Wonderland seen
Unwisely chosen to sup upon
Glimpsing mad hatter here than gone

When e'er I doze 'neath my dreaming tree
I know that wondrous visions in dreams I'll see.
So very pleased to dream of all that
Invoking a grin to rival the Cheshire Cat's!
