Innocent Dreams

The moonlight shines down

With the stars twinkling

Through the hole in the tent

The light dances across

A decoration

Hung above the bed

Willow, sage, and sinew

With beads and feathers adorning

Helping protect the owner

The bead in the web

Grandmother Spider

Watching over

The hole in the center

Lets the sweet dreams

Float through

The webbing

Catches the nightmares

Not letting them pass

And Grandmother Spider

Continues to watch

A smile creeps

Across the child’s face

As a quaint little dream

Flits through their head

And Grandmother Spider

Beams as she watches

Then rests

For morning is soon coming

And her job will be done for the night

And the hoop

Continues to let pass

The child’s innocent dreams

*Shoot For The Stars*
