Katie's Pocketful of Dreams

5 min 38 sec

In the soft silver hush of evening, when the moon first tips its brim over the gum leaf horizon, a gentle kangaroo named Katie brushes her tail across the dewy grass.
She pats the front of her pouch and feels the tiny bundles inside, each one wrapped in moonlight and stitched with a single peaceful thought.

Tonight, like every night, she must deliver them to every restless creature in the valley before the Southern Cross tilts too low.
Katie hops quietly past the billabong where fireflies blink like tiny lighthouses guiding her path.

She pauses to listen to the hush of the world, for only in quiet can she hear which animal heart is beating too fast with worry.
A breeze carries the scent of eucalyptus and the faint tremble of a possum’s sigh from a nearby ironbark.

Katie turns toward the sound, her ears swiveling like soft satellite dishes tuned to sadness.
She approaches the base of the tree and looks up to see Possum Pearl clutching her tail, eyes wide and glistening like polished seeds.

Pearl whispers that she cannot curl into sleep because she keeps picturing tomorrow’s big gum nut race and fears she will stumble.
Katie nods, reaches into her pouch, and draws out a luminous thought shaped like a tiny acorn.

She presses it gently into Pearl’s paw and explains that this thought will bloom into confidence once it is tucked beneath the possum’s pillow of leaves.
Pearl presses it to her chest, inhales the sweet scent of wattle that drifts from the thought, and already her eyelids feel heavier than gum sap at dusk.

She thanks Katie with a soft squeak, curls into her hollow, and is soon breathing the slow rhythm of peaceful dreams.
Katie smiles, brushes bark dust from her paws, and continues her starlit rounds.

The next stop is the meadow where Wombat Walt has been tossing and turning in his burrow, fretting that his digging is slower than every other wombat’s.
Katie finds him lying on his back, paws in the air, counting the cracks in the ceiling of his home instead of counting sheep.

She offers him a thought shaped like a polished river pebble, smooth and cool, which holds the quiet strength of steady persistence.
Walt closes his eyes and imagines his claws moving through soil like oars through calm water, and the anxiety in his chest loosens like a knot tugged free.

He drifts into slumber, and Katie tiptoes away, paws lighter than the breeze that carries the scent of night flowers.
Overhead, the moon climbs higher, turning the world into a silver photograph where every leaf rim glows.

Katie checks the inside of her pouch and counts eight thoughts remaining, each glowing faintly like captive stars.
She hops toward the riverbank where Platypus Pia floats on her back, bill lifted to the sky, worrying that her fur looks strange and patchy beneath the moon.

Katie offers her a thought shaped like a lily petal, soft and iridescent, which smells of fresh rain on rock.
Pia tucks it beneath her wing, feels cool water cradle her, and her anxious heartbeat slows to the gentle slap of ripples against reeds.

Katie watches until Pia’s bill dips below the surface in sleepy trust, then turns toward the rise where Koala Kip clings to a tall eucalyptus, afraid of sliding down in the dark.
She offers him a moon round thought that smells of tender new leaves, and he hugs it like a tiny pillow against the rough bark.

One by one, animal after animal receives the gift of calm, and the valley settles into a quilt of quiet breathing.
As dawn blushes the horizon, Katie returns to her favorite ridge where the grass grows silky and the wind combs her fur.

She reaches into her pouch and finds it empty at last, the peaceful thoughts delivered like letters to every troubled heart.
She stretches, yawns, and watches the first honeyeater stitch pink across the sky.

In that gentle moment between night and day, Katie feels her own eyelids droop, for even a carrier of calm needs rest.
She folds her legs beneath her, curls her tail over her nose, and lets the rising sun tuck her into golden slumber.

The valley breathes as one, and somewhere in the hush, a new thought begins to glow inside her pouch, ready for tomorrow night.
Katie’s ears flick once, twice, then relax, and her breathing joins the quiet chorus of every creature she has soothed.

She dreams of moonlit paths and grateful eyes and the soft promise that no worry is ever too heavy when shared beneath the stars.
When evening returns, she will rise again, pouch glowing with new thoughts, ready to wander the hush and carry calm to every restless corner of her world.

Until then, she rests, guardian of gentle dreams, keeper of quiet hearts, kangaroo of the star speckled night, and the valley holds its breath around her, safe beneath her watchful, peaceful sky.
