About This Poem

A Recurring Dream

One evening, my daughter and I get mugged I lose consciousness after being slugged. After I come around, I don't find her Down the dark street, everything is a blur. I shout out her name in the isolation I run looking for her in desperation. Suddenly I find her coming towards me We hug each other as tears from eyes flow free. In my nightmare, we don't find each other I wake up and push away the fear that does hover. The line between dreams and reality does seem thin One needs to stay focussed, deriving strength from deep within.

    I'm fine Sis. But I got a lot of attention when I brought it up. So I said so that's what's bothering her. I hope it's not bad. Do you get the flashes?

    Well penned Yasmin! The thought of dreams merging with reality is a horrifying one but occurs especially after a traumatic experience. You've dealt with the subject well. Congrats on your win!

    This is a very scary write my friend, a sad poem! I am glad that things ended up alright and things were eventually ok! Nightmares are terrible and can manifest themselves when we are stressed or have a lot of fear within ourselves! This is a special poem Yasmin, I really enjoyed reading this incredible piece this afternoon! Thank you for sharing this intriguing write, Great Work!!
