Joseph May Poet Sonnet

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
                                 ~~
