Standing by the doorway Waiting for the elevator to come As the doors slowly part Allowing me access To the steel box inside Taking my first step As floor seems to disappear The frightening darkness seems to envelop me As the light is torn away Now all I see is black, Plummeting to my certain doom Falling faster, feeling the wind against my face Blowing like a hurricane 5 seconds until impact I watch with terror as the walls Fly past with lightning speed My eyes and teeth clenched Aware of the outcome 3 seconds until impact I slowly attempt to open my eyes As I see the floor at a distance Speedily approaching Like a speeding freight train The wind howling in my ears As I think my final prayer My eyes fly wide open My heart pounding As I glance around my room Like fearful prey Searching for the hunter I sit and realize it was only a dream I breathe a sigh of relief Resting my head on my pillow Staring at the wall wondering "The dream seemed so real…" I slowly drift into gentle slumber Wondering if the dream Will haunt me again tonight Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death. |

terrible to feel like you are falling... and nightmares can be extremely real... you captured this one quite well... |
