My Nightmare's Nemesis

With darkness descending and the stars overhead,

I stay to the path, and plunge on ahead.

A root trips me up and I flounder in space,

With no nearby purchase, a thorn tears my face.

I pick myself up and brusquely brush off the snow,

And onward I trudge toward a far, distant glow.

My objective is there, along an unbeaten course;

Something guides me - a strange, unseen force.

I look at the mountain - it’s too high to climb!

But I’m defeated already with that thought in my mind.

The trail seemed so simple as I left on this track,

But I’ve lost track of time; must go on, can’t go back.

They took in my visage; yes a ripe, easy mark,

With their arrogant pride, they missed my deep inner spark.

A spark for survival, a mad race to the end;

I’ll fight tooth and nail is the message I send.

I stop, aspirate, with lungs burned by cold,

My breath’s smoky vapor trapped by winter’s harsh hold.

I feel my strength ebbing, but I refuse to slow down,

For time’s a key factor, if my memory’s sound.

Thorns tear my clothes; damn it, I’m lost!

But I have to go continue, regardless the cost.

An eerie green glow ignites the black sky.

I shiver with fright as owls appear, screaming by!

My eyes open wide and I gasp out in horror!

A beast has appeared, possessing great power.

Strange armor guards its body, through to powerful talons.

That now reach for me - I’m not up to this challenge!

I wake up in terror, my scream rents the night.

A HAND ON MY ARM! -  “Everything is all right.”

The voice of my wife breaks through the fear,

I begin to relax, and feel grateful she’s near.

Her hand strokes my face, brushes tears from my eye,

My arms go around her with a satisfied sigh.

Gentle words, feather touches, before finally we kissed.

We caressed, shared our love, through the dawn's early mist.

You may enjoy some of my dramatized stories, suitable easy listening for a stormy night. First recorded on my radio show Spiritual Sorcery, they are a good indication of how Spirit works to get us out of our comfort zone. I've found that wisdom and experience often need to be picked up in a very precise order for us to fully utilize it...and Spirit is always on hand giving us a gentle nudge to try new things that exceed our boundaries of comfort. These challenges can sometimes be designed simply to place us - either in mind-set or geographically- at a point where our wisdom allows us to stay in a spiritual flow.
