~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the stars come out to play and the evening takes on that aroma of the night, my bed awaits. I love the softness, the silence, the sense of rest and peace. My thoughts slow like a beautiful carousel, each dancing as ribbons from a kite string that reaches for the sky, embracing lofty heights and inviting in dreams wearing festival costumes formed from the music of my soul. silent night whispers, dreams dance in my mind’s canvas morning light erases

Dearest Sara, Your eloquence gracefully transports the reader, immersing them in a serene and contemplative expedition. The manner in which you depict your musings gradually unraveling akin to a carousel, and your dreams adorning themselves in festival attire crafted from the harmonious melodies of your innermost being, is undeniably captivating.

Sara, this is pure enchantment - an alluring song sung to the "music" of your soul. There are so many beautiful images in the sights, sounds and "aroma" of night that grace your lines and soothe in the promise of dreams in festival! If this is for a contest, best wishes and blessings of sweet dreams.

thank you, Sam, for your enthusiastic and complimentary words, words that mean a great deal to me. No, I didn't write this for a contest...was inspired a few nights ago when I slowly drifted off to sleep and entered a mystical realm. I appreciate your visit and support. Have a 'dreamy' evening, hugs, Sara
