Dream's Keep

Only in dreams can a melody dance
Far from a page in her fanciful trance.
Found in her notes are the feet that take wings
Soaring beyond all the lyrics she sings.

Sugar plum fairies and magical elves
Jump from the books on the library shelves.
Princesses kissed by some ugly, old toads
Find handsome knights riding steeds on dirt roads.

Magic meets fantasy wrapped up in dreams;
Life in reality�s left on moon�s beams.
Morning sneaks stealthily closer each hour
Dropping like sunbeams into castle towers.

Wake me? How dare you! I'd much rather sleep
Wandering, wondering into dream�s keep.

Sharon...I love this beautiful fantasy write you have bestowed my contest with. It's such a fanciful vision of a dream world where many would want to sleep on and on...and who could blame them? A beautiful place to be...I don't want to leave either. You have masterfully justified the use of the phrase and visualized some beautiful fancies that can happen only in dreams. Thank you so much for helping to keep the dream alive.
Love...Liz
