'nessie'

It is a moonlit night in my dream, and the water is still with no ripples. The Loch Ness is a large, deep waterway in the Scottish Highlands. This is where Nessie lives, so it is said, anyways. No one is really sure if Nessie is for real or just folklore. Some say it is a hoax. Some see a dragon creature or a serpent, or perhaps a monster fish or a water beast, but all affectionately call this creature, Nessie. It is all very mysterious. Since the Sixth Century, to this very day people have seen a creature rising. Did you know, the Loch is ten thousand years old, dating back to the Ice Age, and frozen for twenty thousand years. It is a moonlit night in my dream, and the water is still with no ripples. Then, in silence a small black head rises followed by a long neck and huge body. I watch in my dream as Nessie swims under the full moon and hanging clouds, as far off lightning flashes to Earth in the grey sky. All is quiet and tranquil for Nessie, and my dream. __________________________ December 15, 2017 Poetry/Narrative/Nessie Copyright Protected, ID 17-9723-22-0 All Rights Reserved.
