: Pieces of a Dream by estory

A shadow on the wall,
Outside the window
Footsteps, voices,
Thunder
Crashing waves of the sea

In a flash of lightning,
Clouds racing across the sky

A face
In the moon

Footsteps, voices,
Figures running across a beach,
Sinking in sand,
A green wave

Overtaking them

A broken window in the sky,
A hand reaching down from it
Through rain

A face in the crowd
Shining

Lifted up out of the ocean

Author Notes
This is a surreal poem, a dream poem, and the abstract, fragmented imagery is what I thought best to capture this sense of a dream that you can somewhat recall, but only in fragments. What's left is a sense of emotion; fear, tension, and hope. The struggle of life against the forces of nature, or the spiritual forces controlling nature. It was inspired by a real dream I had several years ago. estory
