Tricks

Stormy grey skies,
Ink black waves,

Choking me,
Mouthful of briny water,
Arms lashing about,
Trying to keep myself afloat,
While looking around with hope.
A strange dream it was,
Last night.
When it was calm outside.
And the barn owl cooed softly,
As a mouse scurried along to hide.

One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.
