Dream 2

The vision:

there is a purple-blue sky with pale stars

and in the distance,

a huge eye begins to open

from beneath the eyelid comes

not an eye

but a planet where the eye should be

a pale greenish-yellow-white planet

that's watching me

Although it's warm outside,

the trees speak late Autumn or Winter

There are little half-consciousness who,

as the rays of this planet hit them,

run off like animated goblins,

looking for a dark place to hide

which leaves only me

I remember from a film about the Holocaust

the phrase, "War nods, but has one eye open"

Is this that eye?

it bears a striking resemblance to Earth

If that is Earth,

where am I?

on my own planet, far, far away

my own world

the Earth sheds a light on me

is this the eye of war, as spoken?

is this what I should fear?

it captivates me

but I feel as though I should 

run away with the others

like the moon, coming out of an eclipse,

it watches

but dark corners are still dark corners

and my world remains intact.
