Uneasy, Unpeaceful Feeling

A nightmare only slowly goes away
as the sun rises on a brand new day,
a pocketful of fingers,
a feeling that still lingers,
a sky that turns from black to blue,
and a story that just might be true.

Creepy is the nightmare that lingers. How about me having a hallucination when on percoset then seeing a painting just like it…yikes!

Best to shake off last night's thoughts. Each day brings more worries. And turn off that t.v.

You're right. I shouldn't fall asleep watching old Hitchcock movies.

Isn't there a song called easy peaceful feeling?. I like how you did this contrast of that title. Yikes. A pocket full of fingers. Chicken licken good!

Haha, Yep, Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles. I think it was from the 70s.
