Hellish Dream |

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. |

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 . . . |

(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 don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
