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
