I Dream of Praying Mantis
i tossed and turned in my sleep
fleeting dreams kept entering my brain
the latest one had an insect involved
wonder what it meant, must look it up
the insect I dreamt about was a praying mantis
I recognised it's long legs but why .....
what..... was it trying to convey to me in my dreams.
unspoken words of warning I presume.
deceit is the word of warning it keeps repeating
not my deceit but might be done to me
now I am on alert checking all things and people
life is stressful,
why didn't I squash that blinking thing.
