Another Dream

I have awakened from my nightmare
To a new life and beginning
The smell of life renewed around me,
Fills me with a sense of hope
My desire ignites and my feet carry me away
Through the park I dance this winters day
The colorful leaves bend and snap at my feet, barking
The cold winter air nips at my cheeks and turns them red
There is no sadness in my stride,
I am happy to be alive
I have awakened from my nightmare
To a new life and beginning
Listen to this old soul sing
It is happy to finally be out in the sunshine once again
Clear of the dark and desolation
Free to partake of life’s many splendors
I have awakened from my nightmare
To a new life and beginning
How much I have missed is not apparent
How much I care has taken over the day
Let me savor the morning
For I can’t remember one as beautiful as this one
I feel the tears of happiness well up in my eyes
Wait, something is wrong
I panic as my heart races into my throat
And terror echo’s in my mind
Everything starts to slow,
Like a scene in a movie
Please don’t let this be another dream
