My granny’s house, a battle of misunderstanding is fought there.
A fire set by two boys, mischievous, meaning no harm, but there is harm done.
The ones I love are there, I grab Bella, I take control, I scream “Flee”
But I lead them in the wrong direction…
Bella and I escape at the last moment, they do not…
I see them die, as the house falls down, flames are everywhere..
Then I see their ghosts, still standing in the burning coals of the fallen home...
Everything turns slow, as I walk through the rubble.
Each Spirit smiles at me “it’s okay” they seem to say.
In the distance I hear a song, it’s “Look Away” by Chicago, but its sang as a country song.
I walk past them all, holding Bella in my arms… I come to Tara, she is the last one I see.
Her face is so understanding, she looks to me with a smile as I start to cry…
“I’m sorry I didn’t love you better,” I say, and she just smiles.
I cannot tell the dream without crying… I had prayed that night for God to show me the truth.. When it was over, I knew I would never find what I had in Tara, and how lucky I was to have the people I have in my life. I married her a few months later.
