One Dream

Near a small gentle waterfall In a moonlit flower filled glen In that beauty and tranquility She settled to greet the day’s end. She stretched to release her day Spreading wings of gossamer blue Her silken gown flowed all about her Ablaze in sunset’s every hue So she settled in, did the small one At peace with the stars and the moon Awaiting the ones that were coming Ones who would be with her soon. The first to arrive was the dragon At her side choosing to lay As he smoothed her flowing tresses She leaned on his strength there to stay The next to appear was the unicorn By her side he did take his repose In the twilight between asleep and awake For a pillow his shoulder she chose And in that tranquil moment The three bound in peace and love Found enchanted perfection Under indigo skies pinned above Then a warmth embraced the three Scent enchanting and soft silver fur As a spirit wolf curled around them With kaleidoscope eyes all awhirl. As the small one into his eye did gaze Seeing all beings – both mystic and real Swirl within his eyes - watching her A perfection therein she did feel Thus did the tiny faerie child rest On the dragon’s strength reclined A unicorn’s shoulder her pillow Her hand o’er its heart enshrined But as if there to protect them all Protectively ‘round them entwined The spirit wolf lay and sheltered their sleep Their safety to him now consigned © Candace 6/13/09 Return to Poetry Index
