Having the same dream for months.
Single space,
Covered in mist,
Looming,
Covering the ground,
Until I can't even see my own feet.
You appear out of nowhere,
Like an apparition,
Walking on the mist.
Face turned a way,
Shield of hair.
Fluid movements,
Driping with grace,
Radiating power.
I feel you more,
Closer and closer you get.
I reach for you,
My hands ache for you.
Graze your skin,
Hand closes around your wrist,
And you vanish,
Leaving only a feeling of emptiness,
An air of sadness in your wake.
And t it changes,
Sadness turns to fear.
Then comes the dread,
The feeling of knowing;
Knowing that none can protect you here.
Dark figure approaches,
Clothed in evil,
Masked in temptation.
Part of me wants to run,
Part of me wants to embrace.
The mask subsides,
Only for a moment,
A familiar feeling,
And the recognition of fluid grace.
It's you.
You're gone,
The mist subsides,
And I am awake.
