Dream? ..Or Reality? .. Poem by Shelby Renee

Dream? ..Or Reality? ..

Rating: 3.0


The moon brighter than it ever had been...
The woods screaming louder with every blow of wind...
Branches breaking with every step...
Fog appearing with every breath...
Where was I? ....

These woods were not known to me...
But something about them was not quite right....
Something had my heart racing....
My thoughts pacing....
What was in these woods with me? ....

Another branch broke! ....but I didn't move..
There it was again...'what is it', Oh I wish I knew...
Fog starts to grow thick...
It's coming at me quick...
Can I outrun it? ....

I just noticed something...there's no sound...
No birds..no frogs...no nothing anywhere around..
It's time to get out of here..run which ever way I can...
Something is after me....and so I ran..
Where Can I Go? ......

I can hear some sort of whispers behind me....
I can't make it out, but it's trying lure me....
Something's wrapping around me! .....
There's fog all around me.....
Can this be happening? ....

My temperature is dropping...
My heart is stopping....
It's words are becoming clearer...
It's breathing! ....It's breath becoming nearer...
What is it whispering in my ear? ....

'Wake up....Shelby, please wake up...'
Whose voice is that? ...another branch broke behind me! ...
This isn't what's after me...
This is trying to help me.....
But who is this? ....

The fog molded into a face that I would know any day....
A face I haven't seen since I was a baby, before he died that day...
'Grandpa, what's after me? What's trying to hurt me? How did I get here? '....
But all he said was 'Wake up, and everything will be ok'...
Why was I being hunted in my dreams? ...and by what? ....

The broken branches were getting near....
Grandpa kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear...
'I love you, now wake up and I'll be near'..
All the sudden, I was in my room...
How did I get here? ...

'I'll be near'....that's what he said....and I didn't feel alone..
He was there with me...somehow....right there in my room...
What had just happened? DID it really happen? ..
I don't know...but I felt closer to my grandpa..something I always wished I could feel.....
But did this dream really happen? Was it just a dream....or was it something else...I'll never know....
