The Dreamweaver

by Kristie Hudson - Not entered

With her silver needle
And her silken white thread
She softly weaves the wildest dreams into your head
She is a kind old lady
Who fills our heads with strange and gorgeous dreams
She makes every night more magical and more realistic than it seems

I lay still in my bed, watching shadows dance upon the wall
And as the night washes over me
I think I hear her call
I drift into the darkness; to a land so far away
A place where dreamers live, where dreamers wish to stay

That is the only place 
Where I can see my best friend again
It all seems so real 
That I wish it would never end

In this place I've befriended a dragon
And have gone into battle before
I've ridden a majestic unicorn
And swam with dolphins near the golden shore

I somehow could talk to animals
And with the eagles I could fly
My soul and imagination grow strong here
So they will never die

But morning always finds me
Its sweet singing light is my retreiver
When night falls again
I will return to that beautiful land
And back into the arms of the Dreamweaver

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem because I am a person who loves to dream.  
I can just lay still all day and dream of all sorts of things.
At night, I love to dream, mostly about animals and fantasies,
yes, I guess you can say that I believe in the unbelievable.
This poem was written for a school project, but I got my ideas
from my experiences in dreaming.  All of the things
written in my poem, are things that I have actually dreamt before
and I made up a being...a kind old lady who is the one who
makes dreams possible.  This lady is...well, like an angel and
she is known as the Dreamweaver. She is the one who weaves 
dreams into your head so that you can experience them. This is
a fantasy poem, and it has a lot of meaning to me.
