Posted this in my journal to test the waters, and was happy enough with it to extend it for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.


Sweet Dreams


"Sweet Dreams" he said that night,
as our chat ended at a late hour.
With a smile I turned out the light,
my thoughts drifting away beyond my power.

And as I was standing there,
soft light reflected on the waters;
Out of the shadows crept a grey mare,
her footsteps speaking a whisper ever softer.

Until no longer in the moonlight
was her graceful form in view.
But still twinkling from twilight
were on petals glistening drops of dew.

With so light a step to not wake those asleep,
A wandering path leads to a shore.
Every step further towards the deep,
A calm gentle soothing is felt slightly more.

Details and memories dwindle in number,
I've been floating forever, it seems.
Until sunlight rays break through my slumber,
All because someone said "sweet dreams".
