Speeding with incredible force <br />Through a mirrored tube <br />Toward a saphire crystal source, <br />It takes my breath away; <br /> <br />Supine body gliding slick <br />By silver bands encased, <br />On a journey lightning quick <br />Impossible to move; <br /> <br />Gasping for a breath or air <br />My face is taught and drawn, <br />The wind goes ripping through my hair <br />My mouth is frozen stiff; <br /> <br />Wondering if this is a dream <br />My God! It seems so real, <br />Will someone hear me if I scream? <br />Please get me off this ride! <br /> <br />Instantly my mind awakes <br />Familiar things I see, <br />Every muscle in me aches <br />My heart is racing still; <br /> <br />Question - Am I still alive? <br />My body's stiff and sore, <br />Was 'someone' whisking my away? <br />I'm terrified inside; <br /> <br />Years ago this dream occurred <br />And still it haunts me so, <br />Yes, I know it sounds absurd <br />But real? I'll never know.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-rush/
