I do realize that we all during our life breathe in a fine dust clogs. Your last line is truly depicted from the dream. We all ever had felt that difficult moment: you wanna rise, but cannot...........and then all of a sudden you awake and realized that it was a dream. Perfect vision when we dream. I have truly enjoyed the dream comprehended. Thank you so much for sharing and I know you through social media. The interviews in our newspaper.
CONGRATULATIONS upon being chosen by Poem Hunter Poem Site as The Modern Poem Of The Day, Hurray! ! According to me, the mind and the idea of a poet, WOW! Flying inside our own body, that we can only do when we are dreaming, the poetess leads you to an eerie climax: the emotive moments, the emotions as they are a few minutes before they kill you. Imagine that! I love to dream, but constantly stopped and awoke before that becomes a nightmare, as we all can read in this poem.
