Dream Keeper

Dream keeper

Out from the shadows came a thing of light
A serenity in stone to stalk the midnight blue
The sandman's wife sleeps on the hillside
Gathering aspiration and lending dreams to inspire

Her mind is out stretched in thought
it permeates the essence of each being
visited by her sleep walking countenance
in moonlight the very moths dance to her tune
As she beams grains of alabaster into sleepy eyes

The minds of many gathered repeatedly selling their souls
for a glimpse of the wisdom in her ethereal smile
and fulfillment comes in the touch of a dream
as whispers on the wind call her unspoken name

a marbled magical child she weaves her spell
stealing the breath of all who reach her
the depths of mountains become the
door to her dream scape

her gentle smile belies the truth
the sleeping girl is gathering youth
to cast the hopes of generations
far into the troubled sky.
A trap sprung in the unblinking of an eye

silently implanting ghostly images on an unwilling canvass
She is taking youth in trade for nocturnal whimsy
enigmatic she carves a dream cast in destiny
Is she watchful or sewing the sands of time
selling fortunes thrown against the fragile threads of life

We grow old chasing her wares
the dreams are empty kisses
disappeared ascended in the air
Out of reach , far from the common grasp
we are driven to our despair.
