i get bored of the chinese ornaments i had in my house previously, so i went around looking for something refreshing.. and i saw this at the corner of my eyes. a dream catcher! always wanted to have 1 but could not find the one that i really like.

dream catcher is said to be able to filter your dream.
"Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through . . . Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day."[4] Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper."

and then.... walaa! exactly what i wanted. a little tribal native american and most important, it is in BLACK. isn't it gorgeous?



The dreams of a nation have cracked
and spill into the lives
of even children,
so grandmother spoke,
with lips and the wisdom of age webbing
her eyes and hands.
Fear and evil spirits seep through the universe
into the bedrooms of sleep
and awaken in us all
darkness and the shedding
of reason.
And so wove grandmother,
tales of love and kindness webbed
for my dark dreams,
snaring the beads of tears
of our lost way.
She patterned herself in my dream catcher,
asabikeshiinh,
many armed and silent,
sifting the best of dreams,
and destroying with the dawn
each liquid dream of dread,
long after her spirit passed
from this world to another.
And as she had advised,
the web collapsed with time,
her sign to grasp the thread
of my own destiny,
and sift all the dreams
of life
and catch the ones
I most desired.
