Sparks and lights; blinking, flashing
Is that one moving? A shooting star perhaps...
A night sky flashes in my eyes
Day and night, day and night
An entire universe condensed under my eyelids
Daydreaming is a lie
For when my eyes close
I see the night
The night is my peace
For in my eyes,
The night makes the world a beautiful place
The clouds will come
But they cannot cloud what is already dark.
We set up our tent
As the sky darkens quickly
The ground is squishy and soft
I walk towards the tent, past the warm fire
Thousands of different shades of green
As far as the eye can see
I take off my pine needle encrusted, mud covered boots
And enter the comfort of the tent
Before I fall asleep I zip up all the doors
I sink into my sleeping bag
And listen to the loud silence
The steady dribbling of the rain above my head
And the trees whispering to each other
The river sings a mysterious lullaby
As the stars declare the night
The red sky unveils
As the rain begins to fall
It soon turns to hail
How will this befall?
The hail fall increases
All people are amiss
As the sky falls to pieces
What will become of this?
There’s flooding in the street
The weather’s awfully dismal
Lightning and ground meet
Will this be cataclysmal?
The sky turns blue
And the clouds go away
The Earth is anew
How long will this stay?
My life is nothing on this cot; there is nothing here for me on this abysmal world
I drift away into a deep sleep.
I am in a forest; sounds echo throughout the cave behind me
Water drips slowly from the stalactites that line the ceiling
Then run forward, faster
I jump over fallen trees and advance through the foliage
Skidding to a stop, nearly cascading down the cliff directly in front of me
The cliff leads to a an opaline lake
My toes curl around the edge of the cliff
Mud seeps in between the cracks of my toes
I inhale the deep scent of the nearby flowers
Slowly I raise my arms above my head with poise
When I fly into the air and forward; my arms are outstretched as to fly
And glide towards the water
I launch into the deep lake with precision and I swim underneath the water awhile
It is so peaceful under the water
With the goatfish, dragonets,triggerfish, and epaulette sharks
After swimming without a need to breathe, I surface
And I swim to the sandy shore
I traipse through the greenery until a mammoth tree towers over me
Slowly and carefully I climb to the lower canopy
I sink into a large bed of leaves
Fireflies surround me as the forest comes to life
I sadly say goodbye to this dream world as to I must return to my own world
I wake up in my bed of leaves.
