Foundation of Dreams

With deliberate intention, the goal was to devour thousands of words. He reveled in the delicious anticipation of cerebral and sentimental fulfillment. Focused and ready for some relevant adscititious information to challenge his brain’s hunger for knowledge and fantasy. The emotions of the poets forcefully laid down impressions on his mind. Hours passed immersed in the stories and written essences of others. It colored him happy. And tired. The eyes slowly closed All the words turned to dreams of mystical sunsets with a bareback unicorn ride on the beach, its hair whipping in the wild wind.

Then he woke up smiling.
