Nightmare

   my garden is dying
      wilted and grey

            fading

     like a dark cloud
       after the rain

            heavy

     it pulls me under
   the earth is so cold

         nightmare

     in the moonlight
    I am transformed

            painful

      fear is blinding
      before I let go

            falling

   down a black hole
       into my soul

            empty

    floating in space 
   unable to breathe

            alone

  until the bright light 
    carries you home

            awake

Brilliant piece of poetry. Had to "fav" this one as the imagery is wonderful; a clever write.

Eerie nightmarish imagery--very effective. The poem reads as a long, dark journey. Well-done, P.M. It pulled me right in. :) gw
