**These are two pieces of writing, each based on two different dreams I've had recently, and alas, can remember only hazily.  Most of what is written was what I can remember, but I added some (mostly necessary) details and of course tried tying it together so it made some sense.  The first one I think I'll just leave it as it is; but the second one...I don't know, do you think it could lead to a story?**

I dream of horses

The calm of night is ever blest
With sweet serenity and rest
As I lie buried in my nest
My dreams I keep.
 
The sky, with stars, is also blest,
Before it brings, while wheeling West,
The coming dawn, that glowing pest;
O, precious sleep!
 
The dark of night begins to fade,
The light of day will now invade,
And ruin the Sand Man’s serenade;
My dreams sublime.
 
My rest, cut short, has been betrayed;
O, stay, you sun!  O, be delayed!
If only time were disobeyed.
It can’t be time!
