Mr. Sandman is knocking upon my door
With stardust for these eyes.
And off to dream land I go once more
To that fantasy land up in the skies.

Once again I see him standing there.
Fading in and out it seems.
Congenial, charming and debonair
This phantom in my dreams.

Who is this mysterious energy
That greets me in my sleep?
He calls to me and teases me.
The illusion is embedded deep.

Remove the mask you hide behind.
Let me see who you really are.
And then perhaps I just may find
The one I admire from afar.

Eloise~
So good to see you back in here, gal.
This is a lovely illusionary piece.
I really enjoyed the flow of it.

Septsong, thank you.

Marge, thanks a lot.  It's great to be back. I've been on the road with my job quite a bit but when I returned I started having computer problems and still am.  Not sure how long I will be here this time.

-Eloise...

I really liked this piece a lot! Dreams are pretty intense and powerful. They can leave us feeling a wide range of emotions. You have captured that wonderfully here. Hope to see more from you.

Take care,
AMY
