Where Did The Nightmare Go?

There are days when I forget.
Days that pass by
As though there’s nothing wrong…
The voices are silent,
The shadows turn back,
And the biting winds
Refuse to blow…
And I almost think
I’d be alright.

But just when
I’m beginning to smile a little,
Just when I’m beginning
To look into your eyes,
Soaking my soul
Into your light,
The screams return,
The darkness
Chokes me,
And I fall hard
Into the ground.

I wake up…
What’s the dream?
And what is not?

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
