Speeding with incredible force
Through a mirrored tube
Toward a saphire crystal source,
It takes my breath away;
Supine body gliding slick
By silver bands encased,
On a journey lightning quick
Impossible to move;
Gasping for a breath or air
My face is taught and drawn,
The wind goes ripping through my hair
My mouth is frozen stiff;
Wondering if this is a dream
My God! It seems so real,
Will someone hear me if I scream?
Please get me off this ride!
Instantly my mind awakes
Familiar things I see,
Every muscle in me aches
My heart is racing still;
Question - Am I still alive?
My body's stiff and sore,
Was 'someone' whisking my away?
I'm terrified inside;
Years ago this dream occurred
And still it haunts me so,
Yes, I know it sounds absurd
But real? I'll never know.
