In my dreams
Envoloped in darkness
Within a house
That intended to portray
The house of the dead
Never seen in reality
Ominous and cold
A basket with clothes
Belonging to my Grandfather
Laying near the place of flames
Awake I could see all of this
Right in front of me
I heard chattering of voices
Looking up I saw outside
There were familar faces
Only two I wanted to see
The others do not matter to me
My Grandparents with love
Aunt, Uncle and Cousins
Not vanishing away
A few moments later
They entered the darkness
Grandmother sits in a chair
Beckons to me to come
I am not a child
This running through my veins
She says sit on my lap
I do as she asks
Not understanding
Not wanting to stay
I woke up right then
And wanted to pray
That I would never have another
Of these dreams come my way




 "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown
