Defining Dreams

 

 

 

Now every bubble blown by her sweet lips
will trap a dream within for all to see,
to take you on the sweetest of all trips
in sleep the spirits soar and will fly free.

Tonight let fantasy become your goal
to dream of castles with the tallest spire,
and knights on pure white steeds who steal your soul
by slaughtering the dragon and his fire.

To sail aboard a ship with many sails
or dive beneath the sea into the blue,
to fly among the stars on comet’s trails
there isn’t anything you cannot do.

Now as you close your eyes and go to sleep
your dreams are yours alone for you to keep.

    Well I had a sonnet started for the picture, but should I bother now?
    Superb stuff, at least a "not half bad" if not a "not half bad at all"!
