Sweet dreams
Never mind, she said.
Sometimes dreams are the last thing I want.
I am (uncomfortable, in pain, grieving, afraid), and if dreams come, what could they be? What would they scream at me?
I wish, said the other, that I could be an angel, preferably slender and tall and pre-Raphaelite, and enter your dreamscape to do something magical and sweet involving rose petals and tapestries within walls of worn and gentle stone that would protect you from the winds of outrage and misfortune. I know that I am really just overweight and clumsy and shrill, though, and I hope that if I pray for one, just such an angel will come to you in my stead to carry you through the night and into a new day.
Well, thanks, she said. That’s sweet of you. Embroidery and rubbish, but really, very sweet.
(Fictional, folks; imaginary.)
Wonderful snippets of creativity 🙂 Hugs,

Hmmmmm. Seems everyone is feeling kinda sweet dreamyfied (is that a word, or did I just invent it?) LOL We can be what we want to be ~C, not what anyone expects us to be, and that is, to be who we are, you know what?… I kind of like who I am these days. I have grown ‘into’ me and I’m still growing, but, I’m enjoying it. So should you my friend there’s an awful lot about you to be liked and if I could send you an angel she would tell you not to beat yourself up so badly. You have some marvellous qualities that maybe you don’t see but other people do, one of them is a huge kind and loving heart. None of us is perfect, if we were we’d all be God’s/Goddess’s after all, they are perfection, I myself like being human and besides, discovering life lessons is sometimes wicked fun! *Winks and love and hugs to a lovely Pilgrim Poet on her neverending quest, Bren.

“…embroidery and rubbish, but very sweet.” What a great line. I’m glad it’s all fiction, though. 🙂 Sweet dreams, sweetie. 🙂

Embroidery. Yes. I love that allusion. Pretty shallow things.
