Dreams for Sale

I am a dream hawker,

A stalker of stories.

Dissolver of worries,

I bring dreams to light.

I enter mysterious 

Spaces of the night.

The in between 

of twilight dreams,

lucidity is seen.

I am a tracker

of wild places.

A seeker 

of the profound.

Digging up the underworld

For stories covered up.

Souls hidden in history 

Buried, but not forgotten.

Unafraid of the dark.

Searching for sparks

Of inspiration

To light my way.

Intention matters to guide dreams.

Attention matters to recall dreams.

Written words of the night, 

capture unseen realities 

that only the dreaming mind can tell.

Words that keep the timeless art of dreaming alive

to be remembered and reviewed. 

Reality checks for dreams that come true,

I scan mythic narratives that hold us all. 

Interwoven with the mythic mind and far memory

are glimpses of what may come to be. 

I call upon my dreams gently, 

as a partner, to show me 

what I need to know.

Beseeching your healing, 

I travel this time worn path 

of dream incubation. 

Pilgrims of sacred dreaming, 

Come lay in this temple of night.

Midnight Butterfly

by Valley Reed

 

Rise into infinity,

Come away with me,

Come away with me.

 

Midnight Butterfly 

wild and free,

show me possibilities.

 

Giant wings alight my crown.

My head in flight,

and my feet on the ground.

 

Enter the infinite,

beyond inhibitions.

No prerequisite

for dream exhibitions.

 

Free to roam

and wander around,

explore the mundane,

reveal the profound.

 

Dimensions of dreaming,

flooding my mind.

depths of meaning,

wise and kind.

 

Dream memories land

on fluttery wings. 

Beyond understanding 

the order of things.

 

Midnight butterfly flight

visit my dreams, 

guide me tonight…

 

Wisdom wings

of the soul kind,

open my mind.

 

Travel far 

on intentions set, 

Discovering where

you haven’t been yet.

 

Creative winds 

are expected to blow.

Remembering how 

to forget what you know. 

 

Rise into infinity

Come away with me,

Come away with me.

 

Midnight butterfly

take me dreaming

From a sight so high,

reality is streaming.

 

Butterfly flight 

in dreams tonight,

take me where

you want to go.

 

Show me your wings,

covered in all things

artful and mysterious. 

Show me places 

marvelous and curious.

 

Set course for

the upper realm.

Whisper your magic spell,

with love at the helm.

 

A place where spirit dwells 

in the unseen world,

let my wings unfurl.

A place my soul delights

and vision swirls,

let dreams take flight.

The Sky Shined Through Me

Swan Comet photo by Damion Peach

There is a point of power,
in the palm of my hand.
Difficult to hold,
flowing through like sand.

Sacred words are spoken,
and seeds of intention land.
The stale air is broken,
but I’ll grow to understand.

Truth instead,
now hangs in the air.
My heart open,
to what is said.

My eyes catch,
golden lights glistening.
I felt spirits rising….
….and I am listening.

I take it within,
And wrap it up tight.
It gets in from the tear
between wrong and right.

In a deeper sense of the truth,
I am dreaming.
Like a comet’s tail,
The sky shined through me.
