Painted Dreams

With what color do you paint your dreams? Do they have names such as shocking pink or do you prefer soft hues hidden in shadows, subtle and kept close to heart… With names as mellow yellow?

Are your dreams nesting, waiting for the next season of golden wheat and strawberry blossoms? Hoping to hatch amongst promise and protection of good?

Imagination, and being at the right place at the right time, stroke of luck. Or confidently waiting for your moment to embrace you, and bloom. However they unfold, dreams do come true.

Bold and strikingly different. Dreams that dare to challenge the norm. Dreams that will not be locked in with black bold strips. Dreams that see the faded yellow leaf as golden. Ah, to live amongst the dream, each step of the way.

  19. Sometimes I dream in a rainbow watercolor palette of hues. On rare occasions in B&W, with shades of gray. Other times, in vivid living Technicolor. But mostly, I mix them all up and tinker around with ’em, till I get the colors that make me smile. 🙂
    Beautiful post, Corey. xo
