"War Outside My Window" July 17, 2005

I think I wrote this in response to a dream  I had once where in my dream there was literally a war going on outside my house.

"War Outside My Window"

There's a war outside my window

So many men all around

Gunfire filling my ears

I'm just a little girl

Full of fright and fear

No one there to save me

Nothing but an Army of strange men

Smoke coils all around me

Choking me, impairing my sight

I duck below the porch outside

Hoping not to be spotted

Now in the house, I hear fighting 

Crying, screaming, full of confusion

Suddenly it all ends abruptly 

The dream ends and I bolt upright

Heart racing, bodys sweating, glad the war is over
