The Nightmare That Kept Me Awake That Night1

"It is all about extensions Extensions of imagination and embrace" Said the crowned blind angel of waters In a nightmare that kept me awake all that night The night I met the beautiful lady in black Who baked cakes and scorned was her heart Mountains I saw in her eyes strong And mournings in depths of oceans sunk The night that nightmare kept me awake I dreamt of an ocean embracing her children The all-mother vast endless waves Who called her children each by their ripple sound The ocean leads love by example Teaches forgiveness by forgiving each playful drop All the mothers know the sounds of waters by heart As they produce the sound in their wombs for each child All night I asked myself How the colour of her eyes would've changed; Would her hazel eyes turn into blue, If she cried in arms of her mother once?
