Castle of Dreams



The Sandman by Catrin
 sandman
white crescent moon
sprinkling fantasy dust
floating castle magical dreams
spellbound
 

  pathways
hypnotic trance
traveling hidden realms
riding tigers,  dancing with bears
sweet dreams

    A floating castle sounds like fun. Actually, I'd like to find this sandman in the sky some nights when insomnia creeps in. -J.lynn

      I agree a floating castle would be delightful and I would like to see that sandman myself some nights.

      Hi Pat,

      Well, I could just follow the yellow brick road
      or tap my ruby slippers 3 times..and away I go
      as long as no houses come tumbling from the sky

      You can run fast
      So I'm sure no houses will make you part of the rip cast haha

      Falling houses would not be fun
      have to outrun that or I'd be done
      drifting away in a setting sun...

      Bjorn..thank you for picking up on the form..dancing with bears could be fun..a bear is a medicine animal of North America & native tradition to dance with the bear brings healing power....so, I welcome the bear spirit in my journey..just wanted to share this interesting tidbit with you since your name means " bear"..a great spirit animal..

    Sweet dreams, oh yes, indeed! This pic somehow is similar to some of my dreams before. There was a tendency to fly away sometimes to escape from wild animals or evil doers. You brought it out very well Truedessa!

    Very whimsy write here! Sandman seems to come up a lot this round. Now I have forgotten the origin of that whimsy. Then I forget a lot nowadays.

    LOVE the image, and LOVED your thoughts, which roamed far above and away from...or maybe not! Beautifully written, nonetheless.

    I'm especially liking "riding with tigers, dancing with bears"
    Yessss! Peace and Light for this moment--which IS eternity?
