Set the night in onyx dark

thread it fine with golden slumbers

drop it in a specter’s space

and turn the wheels of wonder

 

Taint the brush in mystery

to paint the webs of cob

for mares of night and spiders legs

to dance among the stars

 

From light to dark and back again

the wicked and the lovely

frolic in aurora mists

upon a sandman’s palette

This is so dreamy to read. I especially love that second stanza. Beautifully done Penny.

Thank you Jenny - yes, I agree the second stanza flowed well for me- i'm not sure of the last line though- I hope it works well enough with the over all impression of the poem but I'm thinking maybe, there should be something more to it, or perhaps worded differently--But...I am glad you liked it and as always, grateful for your kind comment.smiley.

Loved "Taint the brush in mystery", you conjure up riches and magic beautifully all through

Thank you Di-hard, I'd hoped it conveyed the magic of dreams but I wasn't sure it had, but now, reading your lovely comment, you've given me confidence that it has.smiley
