steven

i dreamt about steven my late dog last night
it was so real, and i KNEW it was HIM
and i was hugging him and patting him
sorta realised halfway thru my dream that i had to be dreaming,
cos i knew he'd died already
but he obviously hasn't died in my heart...
that's why he came to see me last night
:*)

The big sea

i've had this dream quite a number of times before
and it always turns out the same
it's something of an adventure
with scenes that pique my curiosity
and swell my heart with excitement and wonder

i dream of the sea
and the sea is wide, the beach is long and spreads out far far far
there are a lot of people on the beach
and i make my way down the steep incline to find a spot

there is a high wall at the start of the beach
it runs along the shore line

as i try to make my way to the beach...
the earth's gravity shifts
suddenly, i'm almost toppling and falling towards the mouth of the giant waves coming

it's almost dusk and the waves get bigger towards dusk
huge massive beautiful shimmering waves that eat surfers and sometimes drown inattentive sunbathers

the waves are dangerous
but such a magnificent sight that people try to get good looks at them without being washed away
i see the waters lap near to me
the high wall is now blocking the waves from getting to where is stand
but i can see how intensely deep the waves are
sometimes i see the colours of people's clothes on their bodies swimming in the waves, trying to get out

i don't swim cos i'm afraid of drowning
i want to be in it
yet... i don't go in.
