Fog rolls in on ocean shores

Casting shadows on gossamer doors

Imagination writes the tale

On a ghost ship we can sail

To ancient lands in our backyard

On waterways or boulevards

Days of sunshine, nights of stars

Lightning bugs caught in jars

Set free to sparkle in the trees

With magic whispers on the breeze

Nestled deep in dreamland’s cotton

Fairyland is not forgotten

Till morning birds trill the daybreak

And vestiges of slumber

fade to awake

This is an absolutely beautiful poem Penny. You conjure up a work of magic that's deeply hypnotic, that I could read again and again. 

Congrats on the well deserved cherries, and thank you so much for sharing.

Jenny. smiley
