Nightmarish Dream
I had a dream,
My bird’s back once again
In the woods, near that stream,
Under the pouring rain.
The raindrops stirred me awake,
A shower of pain I couldn’t shake.
Hit by reality’s harsh glare,
It turned my dream into a nightmare.
Was chased by bears
Wrestled with tigers,
Tussled with alligators,
Tangled with vipers,
And yet, braved the fires.
Now I stand, strong and steadfast,
With a clean break from the past.
