Tsunami

in a dream,

I saw the water rising,

I felt it’s power,

ripping and pulling,

breaking and destroying,

smashing and killing,

swallowing everything in its path;

I awoke,

gasping for breath,

overwhelmed by the sheer

magnitude of it all,

terrified by the raw power,

overcome by the suffering,

you awoke beside me;

“what’s the matter?” you asked;

“a bad dream” I replied,

“about the future,”

“when?” you asked,

“soon” I replied.
