A Strange Night

 

Night is a delight

in the safety of a house

and the comfort of blissful sleep

 

It was a strange night

when I felt myself thrown down

by a compelling, unnatural force

towards a vast ocean

where razor teeth, acid stomach

and other nameless monsters of the ocean

waited for an object from the land

My eyes blinded from the wind

and heart with fear

the ocean seemed so near

 

I sat up, my heart thudding

and the darkness

seeped through every window

my dream incomplete
