Catches us off guard…feeling that gut punch then finding it a frightful dream..still we know these things are possible. I once had a dream I was standing by a wall ready to be shot. I saw the bullet coming right at me before I woke up. Congrats, David!

Thanks Kim! That's pretty scary! Believe it or not, I did actually have this dream and so I just wrote it into the poem. It was a relief, but I still felt shook up.
