Cotton Candy Clouds
Moon Beam Dances, With Gingerbread People
Elongated shadows reach for me down the hall - voices whisper my name in the stillness
Black and gray, making shapes in the corners of the room - chasing neon butterflies, without nets
There is a hum down the way, that my ears can’t ignore- drawing pictures my mind understands
Under cotton candied clouds and periwinkle skies- conversations with a gingerbread man
Floating down lanes of lilac, Stands a column made of scones - in the shape of a mighty dragon king
Singing songs for the girls and the moon on the ceiling - casting rays on a gorgeous diamond ring
I place the jewel on my finger and it looks like I am chosen - fairies dance, celebrating my arrival
Every gingerbread stands and applauds my success- they must, I have fulfilled their approval
As the shadows move on to create new illusions - I bask for a moment in my glory
Before I am left far behind in the dim lit space they found me - trying to recreate this magical story
