Whale of a Time - Dream Contest

I was there There .... floating on a small fluffy cloud Hovering over the sea Watching the seals at play. I could see on the horizon The sighting of a whale I knew the seals would be vulnerable I tried to call out, To wave my hands, To warn them. They ignored me, The whale swam closer Could see the mouth open. Ready.....ready ...to swallow a few My heart pounded What could I do. I jumped Jumped from my fluffy cloud Landed on the whales back Not sure who was most surprised The whale or me Then he began to dive under the waves Tossing me in the air The seals seeing the commotion Rapidly swam away The last time he tossed me in the air I landed on a small island Badly battered and bruised No food no water my fate was sealed I lay down closed my eyes to sleep I was awoken by a lollopy dog Head butting me to wake up My bed clothes were in a mess Torn to shreds, I was sweating Perspiration soaking through my nightclothes Was such a real dream What .... who ... was I trying to warn? Will I ever know? Penned 20 April 2015
