Art-Twisted Side

Creeks and leaves run along the border
Mayhap I shall see his face once more
I begin to see bizarre sights with eyes wide open
Single lights and colors rotating and evolving
Flashing in and out of focus before my sleepless eyes
Then the bees come out of the wall, giant bees
I blink away the bees but then I walk toward
our bed the window blinds seem to be open and light
is streaming in the window. Branches are waving at me and I
remember there is no tree at our window. I get scared, more than ever before;
the bees come at me again, gieant bees. Why is this happening to me?
Am I dying, having a stroke? Did the fevers fry my brain?
The scenes keep flashing and demon red eyes appear and start to consume my family 
but Jesus pushes the demon down and saves me and my family.
The morning breaks and I am glad...

I have read Freud and Jung have to say, but it does not matter ... a dream will mess you up, unless you can feel your spiritual dimension. One love

Wow! What an incredible, frightening nightmare. For me the scariest part was the giant bees. Thank goodness this was only a dream!! Spellbinding, Doris. Love, Carolyn

So you show a little of the dark side lurking inside your creative pen. Needless to say I am a fan of the dark writes, enjoyed the ending I always enjoy seeing the morning come myself.

O' Doris, this one is deep and a bit griping to read. The imagination moves with the wind and fear. Glad Jesus see's all, and saves the faith of your family. Enjoyed,.((p.s.)) about my crazy haiku LOL.) yes I wrote them when me and my other had a little splat of our own. But, it is better now.. Later,..p.d.
