A Dream

In peaceful sleep in dreams adrift She rests upon a cloud of bliss Where serenity is slumber's gift And all her troubles are dismissed Her golden locks, a gentle waterfall As upon her shoulders it cascades She hears the dream weaver's call As one dream comes and the other fades A fairy tale princess awaiting her prince Her ruby lips desire his kiss And as he approaches, she's convinced That he will bring her back from death's abyss And in the morning her prince will gleam As he lights the path of her pleasant dreams ~~ 5/13/14

Dear Joseph, I love the way you describe her waiting for her prince to kiss her. A remarkably vivid description of the picture. My favorite line is "She hears the dream weaver's call." Amazing! Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

this is beautiful. I saw at his contest that he said we could also use the title of a Rest, so I did mine that way, though not posted yet. I hope it is ok!!!
