My Rainbow Eyes - Poetry by Jenn Lundell

It’s alright, everything is alright

I had a dream last night. I had a fight with the most important person in
my life. My heart was throbbing, about to cave in. I closed my eyes and let
myself fall back on my bed. As I was lying there, I thought about what had
happened. My whole body stung. I thought I was about to die. I stayed this
way for a while longer and as I opened my eyes to see how much time had
passed, there you were standing above me, looking down, suddenly everything
felt okay. A strange calm rushed through me. You just stood there and it all
felt okay again. We looked at each other for a while when finally you lay
down next to me. Not once did you move your eyes away from mine. Holding my
hand tightly you leaned over and kissed me softly. You pulled away from the
kiss, smiled sweetly, opened your mouth and spoke. ‘It’s alright Jenn,
everything is alright.’ After this I woke up, disappointing knowing the
dream had ended. I lay with no movement, my eyes still closed only wishing I
could fall asleep again. Not wanting to leave the dream, your smile, your
voice and your words. I thought about how much I didn’t want the dream to
end. Knowing it had to I opened my eyes, there you were standing above me
looking down, then it was okay and it wasn’t just a dream anymore. ‘It’s
alright Jenn, Everything is alright.’
