__________________________________________
Awoken by the soft call of the wind in my dreams
As it gently blows the coldness over my skin
Slowly wishing I was drifting back into my sleep
Knowing that the world around had changed

My head began to throb like,
Someone beating a drum
A drum in my mind

I ache bruised and cold
This place I did not know
Was I dreaming, will I ever know?

I spun falling into darkness
Confusion washing over mind
As awareness flooded over me
Feelings softness beneath myself

Looking down I saw skins of fur
Spread over the floor like carpet
Covering the dirt on the ground
Thoughts rushing through me

This is not where I once lay
Where had this dream taken me
And for what special propose
An I searching for an answer
Somewhere deep inside

I started to panic as shock caught me in its grip
I wondered through hour’s maybe days
As I took in the world that lay before my eyes

Shock slowly faded away from my sight
As it left me in this world of loneliness
Now alone I began to check my surroundings
Watching the walls turning shadowy and dim

ok, here ya go

"Awoken by the soft call of the wind in my dreams
As it gently blows the coldness over my skin
Slowly wishing I was drifting back into my sleep
Knowing that the world around had changed"

Perhaps, try this
"Awakened by the soft call of the wind in my dreams"...
"as it gently blew its coldness"

Read it back again, outloud. Sometimes that can help you find where the flow is awkward.
Have fun!
