She cries in her dream of forest
Lost cubs
~
She wishes not to wake up. Not to wake up from this lucid dream where the sounds of her own private wars are echoing the battles of men before her and near her.
She wishes to enlighten the moment when she finally finds her lost cubs. They must've hidden away thinking it was hide and seek. They could be somewhere in this enchanted forest...
She looks for the cubs, but they are nowhere to be seen. She wanders in the depths of the mythical forest where the unrealistic beings hide from the real world of judgment.
She feels hopeless though. She feels lost to her knees. She's weakening...
She can't control the feeling taking over her body. The feeling has won.
All she can do is lay there hopelessly...
Lay there while living in past regrets.
She cries herself to sleep...
Or awake~
But what is that in the distance?
A cub,
Another cub,
Another, another cub.
Tumbling out from the leafy green bush.
They assert to their mother,
Comforting her,
Snuggling against her warm, fuzzy coat,
Drawing solace from her peaceful presence.
She is now awake.
Awaken from her wildest dreams,
She feels the warmth from her babies,
Her dreams came true~

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you thatโs what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but Iโll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

Enjoyed this poem. Congratulations on Top Story. Your line, "Drawing solace from her peaceful presence." makes me think the cubs are experiencing disquiet in their lives too. So maybe it's not just the mother's bad dream after all.

This is an outstanding piece of work. It shows that animals do have feelings when it comes to their young ones, just like humans. It is warm and touching. You can really feel the mother's emotions. I love this piece.
