Unknown Nightmare

by Debbie   Apr 15, 2007


I stepped on the fresh green grass,
feeling
the warmth of the breeze
on my skin.
The sun was at its zenith
And the ground
sizzling.

I stepped on the fresh green grass.
Beyond,
I saw children playing.
Voices reverberated
in my ears,
And their laughter
relaxing.

I stepped on the fresh green grass.
The wind caressing my hair
Soothingly
like a mother's care;
And trees swayed as if they were alive.

I stepped on the fresh green grass.
The wind roared
at me, drifting
away
To another dismal place.
And the trees shook in fear.

I stepped on the fresh green grass.
The children ran to their houses,
Locked the door, screaming from
The terror...

The look in their faces baffled me.
(They're all the same.)

As I stepped on the fresh, green grass...

    I stepped on the fresh, green grass,

    the warmth of the breeze on my skin.
    The sun was at its zenith,
    And the ground was sizzling.
