Premonitory Dream

Spit in the water -- Not sure why My feet are sweating as this neck cranes Downward, in search of where I went Tried to leave a piece of me there in case I forget... From the dark, It appeared: A splendid mystery! O, it drew me near Towards a path, Far from home, And I knew I had to go forth alone Deep in the heart of this lone bridge, A sudden terror overtook me: Continue blindly or turn back, At risk of burdening the wood and rope I'd already passed? Somehow I fought back: Against uncertainty, The harsh bite of jealousy, Prayers she had sent for me To embark upon something they had never done Out of fear Fear of pain, But keeping static felt exactly the same From underneath, the dark waves riled after a wind blew by, removing a pair of glasses from my face and it occurred to me it wasn't worth just staying in place.
