"In dreams, we enter a world that's entirely our own." ~Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I love these rain-glistening nights.
These nights that I spend leaning against the windowpane, gazing out at the raindrops running down the glass, glinting like diamonds in the streetlights.
It's nights like these that allow me to dream...
...to dream of tumbling down the rabbit hole after Alice and her White Rabbit...to find a place where up is down and tea is the balm to any complicated mind.
I wish to dream of carousels, rising and falling atop a painted horse...secret kisses on the boardwalk, his lips alive with hints of sea-salted air.
My mind is alive, eager to find the place whispered to be located just past the second star to the right...
...to find the land where my King is a Lion and centaurs leap through the trees.
The wind carries me over the sea...to sip my tea and pour through the pages of a leather-bound novel, tucked away at a tiny cafe table in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
These are my dreams.
These are my wishes.
They are not possible in my waking moments...
...not yet, anyway.
So now, I will sit and gaze out the window at the sparkling raindrops...
...and I will simply dream.
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." ~C.S. Lewis
I do hope that one day you'll write a novel. Maybe it could be about the musings of a girl who went around observing other people's life, when her own was fading away...OMG THAT'S SO GOOD!! I think I might use that! Of course, feel free to do the same, too ;) Great post :))
