Bad Dream, Daily 1

1: A bad dream will protrude in the new light And the first conscious breathe will lapse, Until the warm air of morning kills the night. The dark images now simmer but not burn. And the chaser and the tormentor must wait, Until the moon composes the next nocturne.

Yep! The tormentor within is inescapable. This is what I get from your write. I can project self into the new day, being somehow tormented without defense. Amywho - This is real fine food for thought. Congrats on the selection. daver
