Ramblings....

I am being chased,
And I run… try to run as fast as I can.
Catching my breath feeling dazed,
Trying to get a feel for the lay of the land!
Who is chasing me?
Why am I running this fast???
Why couldn’t they let me be?
Till when is this going to last??
I try to recollect,
What caused all this in the first place…?
Shadows…glimpses…at the corner of my mind pecked,
Cant clear my head – all of it is in a haze!
Running through this forest,
Isn’t helping me at all…
Getting out into civilization would probably be the best,
Lest in some deep ravine I should fall.
Oh is that a house I spied?
Seems very familiar to me somehow.
Walking up to it I found the door open wide,
Hearing voices behind me, I knew I had to get in now…
This tiny house from the outside,
Looked so big …It seemed to have grown.
Shadows up somewhere in the house I spied,
Oh I felt very very alone!
Running up the stairs that stood,
Knowing that “they” were still behind…
Trying not to panic as much as I could,
Some sort of escape I wanted to find…
Doors here and doors there,
Oh drat the options there exist!
With as much courage as I could dare,
I plunged through a door into a room sun kissed.
It looked so serene,
So pretty and all neatly laid out…
Oh was that a hand painted screen??
Before I could look, outside I heard a shout!!
Oh what was I to do…
Running hither and thither, this way and that!
I spied a little door,
And ran through it almost slipping on the mat…
Oh here I was running again…
God knows what was chasing me so!
My heart was about to give out and so was my brain,
What did I do to beget this woe???
Now I was running down those stairs 3 at a time,
Slipping and falling for most part!
“They” were almost upon me…for I could hear the cryin’
By a hair’s inch through the door I managed to dart!
I could see my car (how surprising??) at the end of the road,
And made a dash for it with a blood curling scream!!!
THUD!!!! Oh dear lord!
I opened my eyes, “Was all of this a dream???”
