Dream a little dream

A poem commission for my friend Ginger. May your dreams take you far

Skin as white as the purest ivory,

Hair a soft, supple crimson.

Let your wings take flight,

And soar across the still ocean.

Reach down and feel the skin of the great whale,

The streak back up to the heavens.

Fly above the clouds, 

And watch over the slow earth.

Trancend space and time,

To rest upon a mountain and grow strong.

But for now,

Just lay in your bed and dream your quiet dreams.
