Fragments of a Dream

Dream flies on a
butterfly's wing
and 'lights upon your eye

She leaves her
gentle impression there

of altered lives
or a sigh

She winks at you
in a dark winter sky
and scatters her dust
of light

She peers in
clad all in gold
with wise deep eyes

She calls her name
into the night
for those who
watch to behold

She hides the cares
of a dreary day
and washes
young hearts
with joy

She dances throughout
each garden bloom
and wreathes
each wistful smile

She is the kindest company
and 'less you a dreamer be

She only stays a while
