We were all there playing A merry-go-round of fleece and denim Flickering colour, red-blue-red-blue And curly locks dressed in ribbons That flowed on the wind in a maypole dance Our laughter ran circles,Ring-Around-The-Roses Come play with us, come share our joy Those shadows you hide in can be bitter cold Young boy, come share our dreamtime summer But you are so shy, hidden behind that barren tree Without it's leaves and robbed of it's fruit We have an apple for you boy, sweet scented bribery We'll feed you childhood pleasures There is nothing for you to fear here No nightmares will steal your peace You're in my dreams now, safe and free Take my hand boy, follow me The dawn is coming soon, time for me to wake And leave this playland of spirit and hope But tomorrow when I slumber deep I'll be looking for you there again my friend! **inspired by a conversation I had with "Someone" who didnt keep their dreamtime play date! All in good humour** whatcha doing in this darkness baby when you know love will set you free? will you stay in the sea forever Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live |

Maureen, thank you! Looks like a few people have missed my dreamtime playdates! Maybe i will have to stop inviting them into my dreams and just invite them into my reality. bring your skipping rope, bet you could come up with some real clever "jump rope songs"! ~Dawn |

I was in slumber of cobwebs I longed to be free of these ties this vast screen to speak instead out typing. There was angel dust strangling my eyes I could not move, I was afraid and entranced by the security of my tree, but I promise as you lay down to sleep tonight safe a place in your dream world for me. I think that this person was delayed due to traffic, some sleep refused to jump the fence and were on strike blocking the road. A really beautiful scene, I bet that person is really sad and regretful for what they missed. Wonderful poem. "Beyond all this good is the terror,The grip of a mercenary hand,When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand,"I.Curtis |

Games with rules, Invitations too quickly made, Guests turn fools, Fear binding, Behind the tree he stayed Not minding, Not before, In her light dreams has he played Never sure, If waking Would find him much too afraid, And shaking, Dreams for reality trade. |
