I Dream of Castles

I Dream of Castles

Castles constantly appear in my dreams.
Each one is a palace.
They appear each night to extremes.
In my slumber, I am seized in total raptness.

My imagined strongholds are fortifications.
They are bordered by abundant rooks.
Each one possesses plentiful munitions.
These castlings guard against the crooks.

I love to muse about those garrisons.
They are mine, each post.
They are my private deacons.
While dreaming of castles, I am engrossed.

Fantasizing my spirit, I fortify.
There is nothing like a castle for a station.
All who are my enemies, I can defy.
Dreaming of castles, my life does brighten.
