WAS IT A DREAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bus carried riders to a picnic area
Men and women-children and teens were the passengers
Looking around at the people they were all dressed the same
Males were wearing long pants, dark in color
with long sleeve shirts, and a small black hat
The females had on dark long dresses down to their ankles
Their hair bounded in nets at the back of their head
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bus stopped and the people rushed off
running in the direction of a park with trees and tables
I stood looking around, I didn't remember getting on the bus
or why or who I was with
The people broke into cliques and were laughing and having
a wonderful time
I stood by myself, having no one to talk to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I looked up in a trees and there was two solid white panthers
I stood still afraid to move
In their mouth they each had a large hunk of ice
It was melting and running down their chins
The people below the tree were unaware that they were in danger
For some strange reason the fear left me and I felt an euphoria
wash over me and such wonderful joy filled my being
I looked at the people
Gone were the drab clothing they were wearing and it was replaced
with dazzling white garments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man walked from a house across the way
He too was dressed in a splendor garment
He smiled at me like he knew me and held out his arms to me
We walked and talked in the park of many things
My mind understanding each thing that we talked of
Many questions were answered and secrets were revealed
An alarm was heard - quickly my eyes flew open
Sun light streamed into my room - it was a dream
A new day had begun
