Behind A Dream

by Letty   Dec 15, 2005


As the heel of my black slipper's click against the shiny marble floor, my attention is completely focused on my surrounding's . Never before in all my days of living, have I seen such beauty .

I'm intrigued now . Lost in a whole
new world of magical splendor . I
ponder to myself, but can hear the
words as if they were spoken out loud . " Is this really how life can be ?" " That is a puzzle that only
you can solve ." Came a reply .

Shocked from the voice of the intruder, I swirl around in those magical colors, but saw no one, and nothing but bright glowing orbs, bathing me in a multiple , circular, rainbow .

I sigh from all the peacefulness and tranquility that seem to radiate around the room . Never wanting to return to that, horrible, horrible, place called reality anymore .

I continue my journey, not quite ready to end my adventure, because I'm still searching for something . " What that something is ? " I don't know .

My eye's roam around the room once more . That's when I see the golden door .Fighting with my conscience to stay away, but I lost, and ended up walking to the door .

I open the door slowly, afraid of what I might see inside . I saw nothing but total darkness . So I decide to enter, leaving the door open behind me, in case I have to make a quick escape . But when I turned back around the door was gone leaving me in the darkness all alone .

I start yelling, screaming, and crying, but of course that did me no good . I hear more voices coming from deep within the darkness, so I follow the sound of chatter . It lead me to the other side .

I open up my eye's and I'm lying in bed . Quickly I cut off my screams . I blink repeatedly, sigh, and say to myself . " So thats whats behind a dream .

    I am just wondering something,
    How do you write so well?
    Aside from when you copy and paste and they replace the: ' with a itâ??. Yeah, and I could understand most of the poem but some was a little off topic I think, and I did not understand it.

    Very interesting.. could have been much better but it tended to be a little unfocused. I like the concept though.

    An interesting story. You may want to look at your speech marks again because some are in weird position or only being one. I'm interested also as to why the darkness was behind the dream, was it that nothing I reality or dreams is perfect, I felt that was left empty and unexplained however that in itself gives a whole new view on the story I when you think over it. Well it’s certainly left in my mind. Good work.
