Dreamchaser

Tired.
Your eyes blink once... twice.
Sleep surrounds you like a dense fog
And comforts like a warm blanket.
Four furry paws pad softly through your unconscious.
He is your nightwatchman.
To protect you in slumber is his one purpose.
As stars shine down on you,
Dreamchaser sits... waits.
A compassionate heart to relieve the stresses of the day
And allow the cool comfort of night to take hold...
He shall watch over you all night
Only to vanish upon your re-entry into reality.
Most will never know him...
Too wrapped up in their own dreams.
But you can be sure he’s there;
Then, now, and evermore.
