Dream Catcher

I am the whispering misty shadow, the dream catcher
You will sleep at night while your dreams I bring to my master.
Shadow of your dreams I see come floating in the night air.
Navajo web I choose to gently catch it before it becomes a nightmare.

Sandman joyfully receives your dream with wonderful delight.
Sprinkling his sand of magic over your dream to remove this fright.
Sand swirls with glowing and sparkling rainbow colors.
He peers through the sand and into your dreams and wonder.

He pokes his finger in your dream, stir it until he sees your smile.
Master hands your dream back to me in his glorious style.
I rush back to your bed and drift this dream into dreaming world.
I watch with awe and wonder as I see your happy dream swirl.

You stir and stretch as the sun begins to rise.
I notice the brightest smile as you awaken with a surprise.
You notice me here as a shifting shadow in your room.
The aura of life is radiating from me to dispel your fearful gloom.  

You honorably bow to me as if you know who I am.
Then I realize that your dream was you with the sandman.
