Dream Within a Dream

I stand alone on

One side, my family on

The other, my head is spinning

And darkness is rolling in behind me.

I have to make a decision, but I don't know

What the question or problem even is. I'm just

Filled with a sudden need for action, but what action

Is it? I don't know, and I feel scared and horrified that there

Is nothing to do. I want to run, but my legs will not move as I

Hear the distant rumblings of thunder behind me. I can hear them 

Shouting now, distant and windswept, so I cannot discern what the words

Are that make them up. I scream, but no sound comes out whatsoever. And 

Then, right as the clouds reach me, I finally scream. But now I am awake, sitting

Up...on the edge of a stormy cliff with darkness rolling in behind me, decisions to make.
