When I Return I Shall

When I return I will live in Central America. When I come back, My skin will produce a deadly poison. When I reincarnate, Arrow-poison frogs will fear me. Forest people will die If they look at me to tip their arrows. This is my tree dream. Being mighty Being mean. Not being me at all.

it's ok to not be ourselves at times, we can dream about being whatever we want when we come back...you would be most powerful for sure my friend...this one made me ponder thoughts of my own... i don't know what i would want to be if i came back... hugs

I have had lots of ideas about how fierce I would want to be - a bear, a lion, a mosquito.
