Lavender Dreams

A poetic journey

I place
lavender

by my pillow
at night

because the smell
is divine

and it helps me
drift to sleep.

I dream of a
wide open

field of
lavender

that sweeps
over a hillside

by a quaint
cottage

tucked
away

in the French
countryside

as the
sweet smell

of lavender
fills my dreams.
