I open my eyes and to my surprise

I am not yet awake but trapped in a daze

Between the blazing light and endless night

In this trance, I reluctantly remain


In the light people constantly fight

Words are thrown like a spear and are not spared

But followed by hellish caterwauling

Then a sorrowing silence fills the air


The moon rises creating sacred night

Small wings flutter, trailed by gleaming sparkles

Snorting smoke, rough scales and talons bellow

Disturbing the dark, not the intellect


A fantasy unveils before the mind

Leaving the remnants of reality

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
