Little Dreamer

 

Stay awake,

little dreamer,

don't let your eyes

close to the seasons.

 

Beauty is all around,

compliments of Sir Sun

stretching his arms out

to hold you.

 

Hand made quilts

of rainbowed leaves

wait to warm you in coldness

of days that are gray.

 

Mr. Ocean is calling

missing your funny toes

dipping in,

jumping and waving you on.

 

Hues of all that's alive

decorate the skies

laughing, greeting you,

good morning!

 

The master sculptor

creates and displays

just for you,

don't miss a thing,

little dreamer.

Definitely a sweet one here, with an innocence that matches the other who this is told to; yet, it feels like its intended reader is not a child at all, perhaps, a reminder to the "inner child" who has forgotten her dreams. The universe wants to remind of the beauty, all the reader need do is smile and remember. Cheers. Thanks for the read, Jenny. It's about time you posted a new work. Rob

You wield such a graceful pen. I am always hynotized by your art. This one is, as many said, like a lullaby. I can hear it sung gently to a child in the first stages of sleep. Really lovely.

Jenny,
I can't help but envision one of my recent trips to Jamaica when I read this. Your words evoke images of colorful joy, "no problem, mon," and Irie (cool). Thanks for taking me back to Montego Bay and the Rosehall Great House. Sleeping infants? How about wide-awake adults basking in the worry-free pleasures of the islands. :)

how sweet! I liked the "funny toes" line as well. This was a breath of fresh air: simple, clearly stated, up-beat message. Glad to have found it. Thanks for sharing.

-------------------------------------------------------this is such a metaphor for making the act of dreaming visible. This was such an airy, easy-going sweet poem, just too cute. OH Jenny. This is even humorous and full of child-like imagination. like whole poem in light, all is swinging and warming.

Sweet and whimsical innocence. A special kind of spirituality runs through each line.

"Hand made quilts

wait to warm you in coldness
of days that are gray."

Magnificent imagery here. To teach a child of the beauty of the universe is to help make a child happy and serene. I can not express how lovely this poem is. Lydia

Never give up hope cause there are always new days ahead and with each day is a chance to find the light... tremendously uplifting poem and so well written.

I love the imagery and use of personification, this seems to me as if it is a blessing to a loved one and it is very heartfelt I really enjoyed reading it.

[Angelheaded Hipster]

This is such a peaceful lullabye to sing to babies, or even hyper active three year olds. I like the word play, and the quietness of wanting the child to just go....to drift to sleep....

Sir Sun, Mr Ocean....only you can come up with crazy lovely names....
