This is based on a dream I had last night... very disturbing but I had to get it out.

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE


.
You struggled through life

                          You earned the step up

Obstacles you climbed to give your family a good home

Surrounded by boxes you marvel at the view

                      Clouds roll in below you

Caught in the suns light

              Turning the city below into an ocean of pink

Your son

          Excited by it all

He wants to show you how brave he can be

    Sitting on the balcony ledge he calls to you

With a fear in your heart you race towards him

                                   In the Blink of an Eye

Your new world comes crashing down

           As a pink ocean of cloud

Passes silently by

Okay kind of confusing, but I do love the title "in the blink of an eye"

He lost his balance.

It was a horrible nightmare, for some reason I had to write it down.

not sure why.

That really is a horrible nightmare. I got chills.

Our scars are the foundation for what we have become

I'm still feeling it, I wasn't sure if I should have posted this poem or just burned it.
