Loving Dreams Mystic

Peaceful courage with a breath of fresh forest air,
sounds of silence within the mighty tiger’s care.
Never lost inside the wilderness just found in sleep,
at ease inside her dreams, the secrets that she keeps.
                    Hands against her head,
                    slumber found instead-
There was a time when her life wasn’t quite fair. 

She finds repose in times of rest with her best friend, 
in the darkest shadows, a paw of strength he does lend.
Drowsy fear turns quiet with a catnap made for two,
only the tiger knows everything she’s been through.
                    Gentle shut-eye,
                    as they calmly lie-
To the depths of fantasy land, his love does send. 

Lethargy from days of stress brings her dreamy imagination,
for he is so very grateful for her beautiful creation. 
Visions of a chimera life race through her mind, 
it’s only comfort from a life of anguish she wishes to find.
                  Craving hope, 
                  cannot cope-
But her tiger brings her tranquility with alleviation. 

                                           He is sincere, 
                                           shows no fear-
                                           She is broken, 
                                           loving dreams...
                                                               -awoken.
