Standing in this blistering heat
I feel lost.
Something is off...
The snow starts to fall-
Now I know I’m dreaming
As the moon slowly makes its way into my hands.
And it opens.
And I see a note...
But there are no words.
There is a black hole
Preparing to suck me back into reality.
So I fight.
I struggle- kicking and screaming
As this note pulls me back into the
Real nightmare that will begin
Just as I open my eyes.

The author's comments:
This poem was originally paired with an original piece of photography I took titled, "Daydreaming." I felt it would be interesting to write about the abstraction of a dream mixed with the emotion of rather staying in a dream world as opposed to reality.
