Shadows creeping
Up the wall,
My hair's on end,
My skin does crawl.
Things are not
As they should seem,
I cannot wake
from hellish dream.
My lips do tremble,
My legs are weak.
I cannot move,
I cannot speak.
I need the Light,
To mark my way,
To turn dark night,
To bright of day.

Unfortunately, hiding under the covers cannot really protect you from things that go bump in the night!

But isn't it fun to have awakened from one to discover that it was ONLY a dream?
I just wish that I could capture more of my dreams with my pen . . .

Oh, yes! ~ the relief one experiences when one discovers "that it was ONLY a dream"!

You just got me to thinking! I should be tapping in to the stores of pleasant dreams that I do recall! ~ more grist for the poetic mill!

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Linda, when I was a little boy, I always had nightmarish hellish dreams like I've mentioned in my journal and never thought I would wake up alive when nI did fall asleep! (wipes tears) I sure hope you're not having them right now as this angel friend will always hold your hand when you have bad dreams, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I seldom have nightmares, but when I do, they are doozies! Fortunately, my dreams are usually quite lovely!--and most of my days are bright!
