a dream
-------------------------------------------

It was a beautiful dream In it I was a Tigress, and I was free and the air was clean I ran with the wind, not against it, and my old Strength was back, inside me, a part of me It was a beautiful dream I lay on my back in the sun, the waters clear, the sand cool I watched the monkeys play their games with a drowsy awareness that one wrong step and I could eat them whole It was a beautiful dream I felt claws pierce my belly and the blood that ran forth was like a waterfall of crimson silk I fought with a vicious ferocity that made the silly cub recoil into the night It was a horrible dream I could not breathe and the night pulsed with life that I could not feel I felt so weak, and was defenseless when it came It was a horrible dream And then I awoke To find the claws in my belly were my own And to see that the shadows of life were real, and scared It was all a horrible dream My head ached and I could not breathe The shadows said I would be fine, that all of this would pass away It was all a horrible dream My shadow finally left my side Left me to try and dig the fears from my mind It was all a horibble dream And now I sit here weak as a kitten Knowing that I must be the Tigress that lurks beneath
