    Dream

    Is this just a dream?

    Am I really at the airport?

    Each minute that passes by
    feels more like an hour.

    The doors open.
    My heart begins to race.

    I ring my hands as 
    I watch the people descend from the terminal gate.

    Tears stream down my cheek.

    Where are you?

    I walk away confused
    and heart broken.

    I reach for the door
    I wake in my bed.

    I take a deep breathe 
    and realize it's just a dream.

    Ol' Frued would have fun with this. But many dreams are either a wish fulfillmnt, or an anxiety release. This one is of the latter genre. The physiological response of sweat or tears is just as real is if actually happening, however. Let me guess- you had late nite pizza, didn't you? LOL

    LOL! Frued would definitely have fun with some of my dreams. Not sure what I had to eat late that night.

    The ending surprised you? Good I try do things different. Yet again thanks!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
