Dream
He is tall, taller than in real life, and i am tiny, an adult but child sized. I start running towards him, arms outstretched, and everything is in slow motion, soft, muted in color, quiet like listening from underwater. He is smiling a beautiful big smile, sweet soft lips, dark eyes with creasing smile lines forming around the corners, but there is something in them that i can't place or understand. As i near him he reaches out, grabbing me under the armpits, he lifts me. For a moment i am ecstatic, like a little girl being lifted in languorously slow motion, but then i realize i am being lifted too high, and then as if I'm weightless he launches me in to outer space...the white room fades to a black, silent cold expanse filled with many stars, and i am floating alone. I gently tumble, curling into fetus style in the blackness pin-pricked with white points.
I awoke, feeling sad and lonely.
I awoke, feeling sad and lonely.
