Crossing over to the other side

CC Jean Stimmell: 6/2/15

This is an image from a recent vivid dream :

As I wade across a small, insignificant stream,
it suddenly transforms into a raging river
with an irresistible current
trying to suck me under.

Resisting with all my might, I escape to the other side

to a world of utter stillness on a shimmering ice sheet
extending to infinity where I find myself –
utterly and terrifyingly – all alone.
