I stand upon puddles of snow,
within the cool night.
The wind is sweeping the trees,
fresh air drifts as the night dreams.
I see in the distance
blue sails made of bed sheets
swaying within
a wooden boat. Sailing on
mossy green, rocky water, upon the
forest floor.
I sailed to ant mountains and
bird island. Meeting masked bandits,
tricky foxes and ancient toads beyond
the lily pads. The sun slowly
dips into the horizon as the
night unfolds. Embedded with the most
precious of treasures were the
adventures, those I encountered and
the stars...those dazzling stars
etched on the edge of this
world of ours. However, they slowly
fade into the clouds
as the wind sweetly sweeps
them away
until a gently
breeze awakens the
inner essence of
a child.

Loved the delightful images you gave the reader. I noticed a couple of things about your poem, so I checked you out and you didn't want critiques. Wasn't much, but if you don't want them I won't bother. I don't care for critiques either.

To JerryPat- thanks for the read and I don't mind. I did change a few things which might have a few errors along the way.
