I went to sleep before my normal time.
I was asleep before 2 am.
I had a nightmare.
4 am.
Awakening in my dark room
My window faces a streetlight.
Light pours in on my face through the side of my blinds
looking around. The sound of my fan is all that stirs in my room
Sitting up feeling parched I reach over and grab my cup.
As I stand my thoughts dwell on my nightmare.
Like pages being turned in a book they drift to people, places, feelings.
Walking to my door opening it and starting down the short hallway.
Shadows playing tricks on me.
Little faces staring at me from the low places in my house.
Ignoring them I make my way to the kitchen.
drinking two glasses of chilled water
I feel the cool liquid pouring into my chest past my heart.
Images of you
Just images passing through my foggy mind.
I will lay back down
as usual.
Thoughts return to my nightmare.
I was screaming in the dark
Did you hear?
Did you care?
A rescue from a Mother that isn't there.
God is right here.
May the Force be with you.
Andy
