The Dream Store

THE DREAM STORE As I glide along the avenue dipping low this sign “The Dream Store” comes into view Just imagine! It says - “Dreams Collected Arranged Labeled We set the stage You Are The Actor” And then one other sign In big red letters “SALE” Incredible! The owner is overstocked! I’d like a mountain scene with a very green meadow sheep horses a cow or two a stony brook bubbling gurgling All these scenarios laying arranged billowing on a flat plane Hundreds Your choice “The Dream Store” Ah, what fantasy! I circle round and round now quite low at times scraping the ground I can see it “The Dream Store” But Though I endlessly persevere I cannot find the door

Dreams often seem like out-of-body experiences, Daver. Sometimes we see peaceful and beautiful scenes below and wish we could just enter that world, but it's often not possible. Well done, my friend. Love, Carolyn
