In the peaceful
Dark
Quiet
Beginnings of a new day
The colours of it just appearing
Spreading tentative fingers of light
Over the horizon
Air cool upon my skin
Mind fresh from diving deep within
Cleared of the hate of yesterday’s rant
I will tell you a story
A story of my dream
In it I was in a room
It was part of my work
I had to go and get something
Retrieve it
From the other end
But between me
And what I wanted
Was a thick matting
Cloaking
Choking of webs
Spider webs
I had to part the webs to walk through
Thick clusters of white
Round
Egg sacks
Dangled by my face
I was fearful
Repulsed
My heart racing
The trailing webs sticking to me
My fingers
My hair
But I got through
Retrieved what I wanted and retreated
Ordered poison to be bought
Sprayed on the room
To kill the infesrstion of spiders
But
In the meantime I had to return
Again and again
It got easier for the path was already clear
In the end
there was nothing there
I had found the solution myself
The room was clean
I went home
The next morning I returned to my work
I had forgot about the poison I had ordered
It had been sprayed in the night
The fumes hit me as I walked in
And I instantly regretted the toxic mess
I tried to sleep
But my bed
Was uncomfortable
It smelt
Felt
Of poison
I didn’t like it
Poison everywhere
Green frogs everywhere
Some were dying
Blackened skin blistering
They were coated in poison
I looked up meanings to my dream this morning
Frogs are a sign of healing and metamorphosis – transformation
I had killed healing
And metamorphosis
Growth
Unnecessarily
And stupidly
Blindedly
I realised my dream was my deeper self talking to me
I’ve had these sort of dreams before
They tell me things
But I have to work out what they mean
And I don’t always get it right
Assuming
I jump in
and sometimes get it wrong
So to be on the safe side
No more hateful rants
Stand up
Stand alone
And don’t send forth any negative energy into the world
I think I have it right
You see
Words are powerful
I had forgotten that
In my hatred
And hatred is mad
And blind
And small
It is of no use to anyone at all
It’s a toxic poison
That kills frogs
Healing
Growth
Transformation
Metamorphoses
I can’t take mine back
And I have said I won’t look back
Only forward in time
When I’m reminded
By my own mind
Not to hate
Yesterday’s rant of course refers to my Posts on Donald Trump – it takes time but peace comes but then I wonder without my writing – would it. I have never found a quicker solution to rage then to write it out of your system but then…put it in the bin. ππβ¨
Very philosophical, very nice.
