Sleepy feelings erupted on the landscape in her mind. Volcanoes jutted up across wild fields of endless rhyme. Visions from the clouds rained down to fill the empty streams. The lava steamed with fury as her heart began to dream.

The streams turned into rivers and then they overflowed. Passing memories drifted through the valleys of her soul. Trees of truth grew in those valleys, just outside her door. A million leaves were scattered deep across her bedroom floor.

She was resting there on pillows of moss, lightly tossed to urge the scent. Windows open, the breeze came in and tickled her until she laughed. A fish walked through the open door and spoke to her of things to come. Running through sweet fields of clover, she met her dreams yet to be spun.

Down in the valley she danced to the rhythm of another moonlit night. Waltzing through the land of lyrics, she teased the streams with pure delight. Wandering through the lava fields with flowers growing in her hair, she tiptoed through the evening air, picking dreams once planted there.

Across the valley, the rains subside. The rivers wane and the starlight hides. A misty glow comes to steal the night. Sunlight rises as her dreams take flight.

I poured my dreams into a lake
And watched them slowly dissipate
Those tender drops dissolved in waves
Rolling through the thoughts I’ve saved

Drenched in sunlight, dancing there
Those dreams evolved into a mist
Lifting up, it kissed the sky
Spinning rainbows for my eyes

Butterflies in brilliant light
What a sight as dreams take flight
Whatever comes, whatever goes
The ripples in the lake still flow

New thoughts reach back, deep down inside
As wonder drifts up from the waves
The lake returns so many dreams
Her wispy visions come to me

I let the dreams flow over me
The lake has now become a sea
I’m all absorbed in its salty spray
There many cares are washed away

Wind driven waves break
On the shore they are making
Froth seeping through sand

rose
Fall rested her head on Summer
So she could stay warm for a bit longer

I know I already wrote a poem about the warm weather but it's so nice and this just popped into my mind

Finally found my way
Rambling down this dusty road
Skipping with your soul

Sifting through the clouds…
Searching for a rainbow.
I finally found one floating there,
Just outside my window.

Her colors flowing through the air,
Almost caught me unaware.
But there I stood in the silky mist,
Kissed by the sunlight’s fractured bliss.

Now I’m finding rainbows
Everywhere I turn.
Just waiting for another rain
To splash across my window pane.

I watch the clouds embrace the sky
With every storm that passes by.
But in my mind I always see
A rainbow watching over me.
