#VividDream

Walking in the distance on a cold dreary night,

Hazy skies filled airs dreary drizzling Forrest's escape,

Wildly running aimlessly behind trees among creatures of the night,

Turning corners far and wide twisting, twirling at every nook,

Frantically paralyzed at the sight of bobcats head hanging from trees limb,

Blood pouring down with resisn intertwining from up above wooded surfaces,

Continuously telling myself to move feet backwards unable to move,

Suddenly lifting leg backwards one foot at a time confused with no where to go,

Trying to scream yet frozen in time from staring at the dead everywhere I look,

Contemplating whether to flee eastward bound towards waters edge,

Forcing myself to trudge past scarry sounds leaving body chilled,

Lagging behind long forgotten trails wandering how I'll disappear in thin air,

Drowning in fears without a trace of identity vividly seeing dismantled faces in tree tops,

Hyperventilating in the meadows foreclosure as cupped hands wrap around dry mouth,

Dragging behind lays my lifeless body as gun shots constantly ring inside eardrums canal,

Panicking at the sight as I truly come alive out of this nightmarish sleep for it was only but a dream.
