I Had a Dream

Author Elisia Jades Malicdem | 5 August 2024

I had a dream. Far beyond the realm, I walk past graves and nameless tombs. I expected fear to creep into my guts, perhaps shadows to graze my peripherals; however, none.

When I look up, all I see is the horizon in which the sun and the moon kiss the sky equally.

On my left is a meadow filled with daffodils and daisies on sinking sands.

On my right is the vastness of a thousand islands, tied by blue and green ties. A purple flame burns it to undoing, yet it coils back fibre by fibre.

Beneath me is nothing but my reflection, so I crouch to draw from the transparent ground. I dug into the ground and pulled out to nothingness.

I watched butterflies fly up from the ground to my hand and up in the sky.
