The Watchful Guardian
Volume 1, Poetry 4 of 7

Beyond the veil of slumber’s keep,
where dream-light sways and hushes deep,
the waking world stands soft and still—
morning’s hush, the desert’s will.

Christopher steps on silent ground,
his gaze upon the space around.
The golden dawn begins to creep,
but Daisy lingers, lost in sleep.

Nestled where the shadows play,
where morning’s cool dares not betray,
her tiny paws in twitches slight,
caught between the day and night.

In careful hands, a water’s gleam,
cradled cold, a summer’s dream.
Icebergs drifting, slow and bright,
a touch of care, a shade of light.

He sets it near, the shaded stone,
where heat won’t claim what’s not its own.
Then turns to watch, with knowing eyes,
his pug wrapped tight in dreaming skies.
A flick, a twitch, a breath so small,
a world unseen, a whispered call.
He smiles, lost in thoughts unseen—
what wonders bloom within her dream?

And in that moment, hush unfolds,
the dream calls back, its story told.
For in the world where Daisy lay,
the sky bent low, the stars gave way.

And deeper still, the magic spun—
her journey far from being done.
