Nightmare

Is it a Dream?

By David FournierPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

What is a nightmare?

It’s a feeling of perpetual conclusions.

An enclosed world that allows you to go as far as you wish until the inevitable slingshot back to the start.

A land enriched by the apex of your talent and ambition, only to be impoverished by the seismic crack in the floor.

Its inhabitants include emotional tourists, your own blood, and the one who got away.

The skies are the limit as you take flight in pouring cement.

You see the meaning of life, but it always reads endless desires.

You feel, you yearn the warmth of the greatness inside, but all you find is the cold need to survive.

There is a door that leads to something new.

Finally, forget everything you knew and shed the cocoon of those coordinates.

It’s never too late for passion rather than talent to guide you.

But just as the seasons change, this expanse is only the same walls with a new paint job.

You are back at the start of an endless maze.

Finally you awaken, only to wake up again.

What does this mean? How do I emerge? What does this speak to you?

Love is the only language I speak fluently.
