"In My Dreams"

By Neville Johnson

In my dreams

I’m always running toward the noise and
into the storm

Hunting the enemy in my dreams

Silently heading toward the bottomless pit
of infinite memories.

This war with myself slowly burning me,
flames effortlessly consuming me and
burning me to dust.
