Where Dreams Keep Their Familiar

A face drifts inward, eyes closed to listen, painted with rivers of color and softened light. Thought becomes landscape— trees rooted in memory, water winding through the quiet places of the mind. A black cat watches from the threshold, guardian of the unseen, its gaze steady as a secret kept kindly. It knows the way between worlds, where intuition curls its tail around the heart. Here, imagination breathes in pigment and pulse. Emotions bloom without asking permission, and silence speaks in hues of wonder. This is the place before waking, where the soul rests its head and lets beauty dream for it.
