The Dream Fish Come with me,
My darling,
To the well pond.
Beside the water I'll rock you as the water laps,
As the water rocks us,
Too.
Feel the breath of the wind and the beat of your heart.
Ease of water tumbling over itself.
Ease of breath.
Beside the well pond we are held by the circling land and the cycling seasons.
Wrapped by trees and tenderly held by the spaces,
By the breeze,
The air,
The mist,
The clouds,
The earth under our feet,
The grass under your hands.
The sun appears from behind a cloud and sparkles on the water,
Red,
Pink,
Amber sun.
Look into the water,
Look into the water now,
Into its depths and its mirror shimmering.
You've come to the well of dreams,
The well pool of dreams.
What colours do you see in the water,
In the depths?
Deep blue,
Turquoise,
Greens,
Purple,
Teal,
Peacock's feathers,
Stars,
Flickers of yellow and orange like tail feathers,
Glimmers of silver,
Lashes of gold like coins,
Like tiger's eye.
See what beauty moves like a rainbow dancing and run your fingers through the water.
Oh,
Look,
There are bubbles rising to the surface.
Air to air.
Pop.
The iridescent bubbles rise and the dream fish rises after them.
Hello,
Dream fish.
Dream fish flicks its tail.
Dream fish glides,
Fins flickering.
Dream fish circles in the well pool.
Dream fish has dreams for you.
Gliding round in the well pool mouth to fan tail,
Scales of many colours.
What dream today?
Is there somewhere you'd like to go?
A path under your feet?
And a horizon whispering?
Do you smell the desert or the forest or taste the salt of the ocean on your lips?
You watch dream fish glide.
Circle in the pool,
Slowing,
Slowing down.
Magical dreams in the bubbles.
Dreams in her scales.
And your body gets heavier and heavier.
Your body yields into rest.
Yielding into the dreams,
Into sleep.
You can swim with dream fish if you want to.
You could find your own fins and tail in rainbow scales.
You could dive into the water or be taken on its ebb and flow.
Into the well.
Into the mystery.
Into the dreams.
Deeper and deeper now.
Water shimmering all around and dreams to swim into and dreams like currents that you can catch a ride on.
Be towed into a dreamland.
Soft water rushing by against your skin.
Rainbow bubbles streaming from your mouth and dream fish,
Dream fish carrying you safely through the night.
Sleep well.
Dream well.
Good night.
