Nightmares trembled in her head.
Her heart drummed and her feet raced.
She wanted the dream to end
and to stop being chased.
She screamed as she bounced from her bed.
The little girl jumped and ran to her mom.
Her face was red from streaming tears
and they dripped off her face as she tried to be calm.
Her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter
and hushed her to sleep.
Cradling her small, fragile face
and brushing her tears with just one sweep.
Slowly the little one calmed down to bed
and she lay with her on her chest.
Feeling her heart start to settle,
she closed her eyes now for a rest.

Sail away with me
away to the distant sea.
Sail away
to the tunnels of the bay.

Sail away with me
to the ocean deep.
Let the waves flow
to the islands we go.

Sail away with me
and let your hair go free.
Sail away and on
until the world is gone.

Looking out the window
she wishes on a star.
Closing her sapphire eyes,
and wishing they weren't so far.

Longing that a wish
could fix problems she had.
Wondering if star powder
could erase the bad..

Shooting stars
wandering to and fro.
She watched and wondered
where those stars go.

sharp,
blue,
cubic,
shines like dew.

curved,
pure,
and finest
allure.

Ionic,
shimmer shown,
a beautiful substance
in this healing stone.
