Mind what you dream this evening. Watch your dream wind
itself around your heart like an emerald serpent. Feel the wind
it blows across the hairs on your neck and arms. Taste the blend
of wishes and joy on the slick palette of a dreaming mind.

Mind what you dream tonight. Of all nights, this, the supreme
distillation of daylight and desire, shrunk down in dance
of elves and magic to the purest dark of all. Perchance
it will be your true heart's guide or lover, so mind your dream

tonight. Watch for truth and daring, fears and loss, ask for all
your soul has yearned for, leaned into, and believed against the odds.
Mind your dreams this evening. They are given by the gods
and queens of gyring spheres, as summer spins to fall.
