In a cozy bedroom, with stars peeking through, Lived little Finn, with eyes of bright blue. He snuggled in bed, his blanket pulled tight, But sleep wouldn’t come on this magical night.
For outside his window, a soft whisper grew, A melody gentle, both ancient and new. It drifted and swirled like mist in the air, Calling to Finn, “Come out, if you dare!”
Finn tiptoed softly, his feet bare on the floor, He opened his window and heard something more. The lullaby beckoned from far, far away, From the Dreamy Dunes where the sand loves to play.
With a leap and a bound, he flew through the sky, Soaring past clouds and birds flying by. The moon winked and giggled, “Oh, what a sight! A boy in pajamas out flying at night!”
Soon Finn arrived at the Dreamy Dunes’ shore, Where sand castles whispered and seashells did snore. The dunes were alive with a soft, golden glow, And the lullaby’s source, he was eager to know.
He climbed up a dune that was puffy like cotton, And met Mr. Sandman, who’s never forgotten. “Welcome, dear Finn,” said the sparkly old fellow, “To the land where sweet dreams turn perfectly mellow.”
Mr. Sandman explained with a twinkle and smile, “The Dreamy Dunes sing every once in a while. Their lullaby calls to the children who need A sprinkle of magic, like flower and seed.”
He showed Finn a garden of luminous flowers, That changed colors softly for hours and hours. “These blossoms,” he said, “hold the dreams of the young, Their petals are where lullabies first are sung.”
Finn gasped in wonder as the flowers began To hum and to sway, as if led by a fan. The lullaby rose from their delicate throats, Filling the air with the sweetest of notes.
The Sandman then said, “Now, it’s your turn to sing, Let your voice join the flowers and make the dunes ring.” So Finn took a breath and he sang with his heart, His voice clear and true from the very first start.
As he sang, golden sand swirled around in the air, Forming shapes of his dreams, both wondrous and fair. Unicorns galloped and dragons took flight, While mermaids splashed tails in seas of moonlight.
The longer he sang, the sleepier he grew, His eyelids felt heavy, his yawns were not few. Mr. Sandman chuckled and patted his head, “It’s time, little one, to return to your bed.”
With a wave of his hand, the Sandman did weave A cloud soft as silk on which Finn could leave. The boy drifted home on this magical puff, Snug in his pajamas, warm as a muff.
Back through his window, Finn floated with ease, Guided by starlight and a gentle night breeze. He snuggled in bed, his adventures complete, The lullaby fading, so distant and sweet.
As sleep finally came to dear little Finn, He smiled and whispered, “What a night it has been!” For now he knew that when sleep feels too far, The Dreamy Dunes sing, no matter where you are.
So children, remember as you close your eyes, The lullaby’s magic still floats through the skies. And if you listen close on a still, quiet night, You might hear it call you to dreams shining bright.
The Lullaby of the Dreamy Dunes will always be there, A song full of wonder, beyond compare. So cuddle up tight and let your mind roam, To the land where sweet dreams have made their home.
