Signs - Five

Nafis Light

One day of a so-called ‘holiday’
but an hour or so of...nightmare
like a dream...where I was full of sadness
and finally, I was aware
when I saw a vision of a black hideous creature
and I knew right away...that something was wrong
with me
and so clearly I could see
in shocked...I said a prayer
and made it disappear
and I felt okay again
and knew that that state
as well as that issue in that moment
is a ‘red flag’;
is not beauty...but black
and I want to remind myself
to not get in that state anymore;
to avoid going into a thing of gore.

 

I lock the key to the door to that world
and I fly far away...like a bird
that flies away from danger
to a place that is free from fear.

    'that flies away from danger
    to a place that is free from fear.'
    if you've found an avenue or outlet that can provide such a place - within existence, then what a superpower you've been gifted dear Poet
