Falling Dreams

The dreams that scare me the most are the dreams in which I fall.

Nothing makes sense until that moment. Everything is a blur. And then I find myself walking, or running from or towards a destinations that still not clear and I find myself tumbling into darkness.

I always feel the impact. It shakes my heart.

Sometimes I'd find myself on ivy covered stairs. Their beautiful stone, like something you'd find in the a distant castle garden. There's a fairy tale hidden in the many places. I think in those dreams my fall is the most graceful. But the impact shudders me to the core.

When I wake in the darkness, clutching myself for support I always wonder how it is that the soul can crash harder than the body?
