all in a dream

Entranced aslumber o'er woodgreen moss
chanced whispers call and dance
into a dream a woodnymph trilled
to steal of hearts romance.

            Gossamer wings paint airy trails
            through twighlight's eerie hue
            where floating fairy fingers lead
            beneath bows of deja vu.

            And there a star, a dream fortold
            of love so long subdued                             
            yeilds a clue and stole a heart
            a leaf shaped silver shoe.

Through carpet green o'er tumbled root
bracken thorn and sinued vine
flight of nymph guides light of moon
race of heart and dreams entwine.
          
           Across the seeds of hope's reveal
           bathed in starlight's mercurial pond    
           the princess of the greenwood dell
           sensed promise of beyond.

           Upon the shore of restless night
           now a saviour figure stands
           the key of future promise held
           a leaf shape in it's hand.

Betwixt the realms of nightfalls sigh
and leafsfall daylight's drone
where woodnymph play neath dragons beard
a dream may rest its home.

For each sleeping prayer on lip becomes
words of woven quilt to treasure
when midnight creatures fascinations bring
to our slumbers worthy pleasure.
