Rock gently
into quiet slumber
catching dreams
spun
in a web
of magical delights
falling through
a cloud
to swim in a river
washed with butter milk
rock candy standing
along the banks
and among
the fields
hold onto
the tail of fire flies
sail away
sail away
into the night...
'Originally the 'Native American dream catcher was woven on twigs of the red willow using thread from the stalk of the stinging nettle. The original web dream catcher of the Ojibwa was intended to teach natural wisdom. Nature is a profound teacher. These twigs are gathered fresh and dried in a circle or pulled into a spiral shape. Dream catchers were woven by the grandfathers and grandmothers for newborn children and hung above the cradleboard to give the infants peaceful, beautiful dreams. '
