Giant Dreams in the Night

 Night has fallen,

crisp,

cold,

silent...

 And in this silent sleep,

the dreams of little boys carry their resting bodies

to lands of giant adventures.

 A wandering ship with flapping sails

where a giant whale lurks beneath the breaking blows of

stormy waves.

An octopus twists and turns and stretches his many legs

as turtles and schools of fish glide by,

and

shark fins break the surface of the deep.

"Jonah,

where are you?

I must travel with you,

in the belly of that whale.

Take me with you!

I am your friend."

 A sudden landing from out of the sea,

and dinosaurs greet the dreaming little man

as he rushes toward a giant...

 with a sling and some rocks.

A little lad stands beside him.

 "Look out for the giant, David!

I have your stones in my hand.

Take one, quickly, 

and shatter the air with your turning round and round that sling.

The giant must come tumbling down!"

 

 Long sleeping adventures

will wake the man to a powerful hunger for breakfast:

the nourishment of dream giant-conquerors.

Linking up to Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures

for night-time photos.

Below is the original photo.

Next is a photo that has been sharpened,

lightened a little

and the color shifted slightly more blue-toned

(I think I might prefer the original on this one).

 

And below is a black and white version,

lightened slightly
 and sharpened.
