A Heart for Art

Lightning bugs
Fairy wings
Eyelash wishes
Magical things
Puffy clouds up in the sky
Shifting dreams just passing by
Daydreams spinning round young heads
Sweet dream wishes for their beds
Storyteller's well worn seat
Children sitting at their feet
Wonderment in every eye
Silent tears for sad goodbyes
Weave for them a strange new world
And embed it in the heart of a girl
Or a boy who's heart still dreams
Of mythic heroes or vicious fiends
In the core of every child
Lives possibility fresh and wild
A precious gift within each heart
Inspirations from which grows art

Rhyming Dreams

Sometimes when I lay down my head
All tucked up tight upon my bed
I drift and float and start to dream
Cascades of words just like a stream
I wonder at this gift of mine
Delighted I can dream in rhyme
No two dreams are quite the same
My poet's mind did birth this game
Though rhyming dreams are often fun
It's time to call this poem done.

Between Waking and Dreaming

Do not pull me from this place too soon
This place between waking and dreaming 
You see
The moon is singing 
A song meant only for me
She sings of hope and wonder 
I must stay here and hear her
Just a while longer 
Embraced by her soft silver light
Her welcoming night
Full of mystery 
Legacy 
Lunacy 
Soon she will set the stars to ringing 
A cacophonous celestial pealing
Then I know our evening 
Is at its ending 
That soon I must be leaving 
This glorious realm
Between waking and dreaming
Where I dance with the singing moon
Please 
Do not wake me too soon

Dreams

May your heart's dreams be at least as beautiful as the wonders Nature creates for us to experience.
