Nightmares

The little bird slumbers.

Unaware, a shadow has crept in her sanctuary.

Creating an illusory world of despair

Trap in a cycle of unfortunate events

Wrapped by horrific hallucination.

The little bird wants to escape.

But the naive little bird does not know.

She is eternally confined with this silhouette of pain.

Nightmares... from falling from the sky to deadly creatures creeping in the corners in our room. I don't have the complete answer to why we have these visions. It's possible a premonition of the subconscious mind and is trying to tell us something, but it is challenging to do so. Maybe one day, I can understand these nightmares are telling me.
