My dream

   One dream. Hope strong.
Hold my hand. Close eyes and hear
the sweet lullaby drift over us.

    Silently a shudder enters me.
A moment I hold back a soft cry. I
don't want to break the happiness.
Yet great is the quake that rumbles
throughout me.

   I twist to escape even though
security is there. A light in a velvet
black, starless night.

   My sleepy world is soothed by
lightning and rainbows. Softens
the harsh realities with a bed of
daisies. My eyes flicker. Veiled by
a sheer curtain of rain.

   A smile brings such joy, happiness.
Oh hear my childish giggles. My
fingertips tickled by ladybugs and
butterflies.

   My soul needs to awaken yet I
cannot shake free of the memories.
Please don't let go. Just push me.

   I know the sparkling gemstones will
always be reassuring. I know now
I am safe. Embraced and loved beyond
all imagined.

   Dance my merry jig with me. Be happy
even though hard storms hit me,
I perservere because the best foundation
I now have.

   My eyes flutter open. Tears fall down my
face. I was talking aloud in my sleep.
Thankfully only one heard.

   I smile. Moving on as Jehovah pushes
me up.
