Toys sitting on a table

guarding an old house

it is quiet now

only the movement of a mouse

 

The sun sets

the moon shines bright

the toys come alive

searching in the night

 

Given the power

to read the soul

as the toys touch the guests

their stories unfold

 

Those that are good

charitable and kind

a reward of a good dream

occupies their minds

 

Those that are evil

who steal life forces

have lucid nightmares

over their life choices

 

In the morning

as each guest awakes

the toys have left a gift

either joy or heartache

 

The toys have returned

to each one’s original place

waiting for the next guest

to claim a quiet space
