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 and asked me

what was the matter,

bad dream I replied,

“when?” you asked;

“soon”, I replied.
