the Fog of My Mind...<br />
<br />
As the fog rolled in,quietly drifting along,slowly making it's way throughout the slumbering valley.<br />
My thoughts were about my dreams of last night.<br />
I sat quietly on this little knoll,overlooking the valley below.<br />
My home town,nestled in the nooks and crannies of this little vale,only a few rooftops were visable.<br />
They reminded me of little Hobbets from a movie I'd seen...<br />
Everything was silent,as the fog drifted by,slowly collecting on each leaf,each blade of wild…
the Fog of My Mind...<br />
<br />
As the fog rolled in,quietly drifting along,slowly making it's way throughout the slumbering valley.<br />
My thoughts were about my dreams of last night.<br />
I sat quietly on this little knoll,overlooking the valley below.<br />
My home town,nestled in the nooks and crannies of this little vale,only a few rooftops were visable.<br />
They reminded me of little Hobbets from a movie I'd seen...<br />
Everything was silent,as the fog drifted by,slowly collecting on each leaf,each blade of wild grass.<br />
There was a spider's web left on an old rotten fence,that was covered with the morning's dew,and the fog...<br />
Like snowfall...the silence was almost deafening.Only the sounds of my breathing,<br />
and droplets of dew hitting the forest floor,was all I could hear.<br />
I searched inside,sorting my thoughts,trying to remember as much as I could<br />
of the dreams I had,and what they meant to me.<br />
I saw waterbirds gathering in a small pond,just outside of town.<br />
there were hundreds of them,and in my dream,I floated through them,as if invisible.<br />
Geese and Ducks,waterfoul all around,but none were afraid,none moved out of my way.<br />
I drifted along,much like this fog,without any real purpose,or direction,just drifting.<br />
Across the little pond,to the distant shore,and into this clearing,a meadow of sorts.<br />
Suddenly,without notice,it was as if tall trees had sprung up all around me,<br />
I found myself in the middle of this clearing,the very center of that meadow.<br />
One by one,animals came from the shadows toward me,only to sniff the air in my direction.<br />
From Deer,to Bear,Cougar and Bobcats,Wolves and Coyoties,even the old Badger came to stare at me.<br />
All of the forests animals were looking at me as if they were asking a question.<br />
What?<br />
What can I do for you?!?<br />
I screamed into the darkness,only to be met with my own echo,over and over,untill it faded away.<br />
The Animals just looked at me with that question in their eyes,begging for answers...<br />
Answers to questions that I don't even know?What?!? I screamed again...<br />
Geting no answers myself,I strolled down to the pond for a drink of cool water.<br />
When I saw my reflection,I saw that I had been turned into a spotted cat,a Leopard.<br />
I didn't belong in this jungle,this forest...but why was I here?what was my calling?<br />
I heard a wolf howl in the distance,and everybody turned to listen to him.<br />
I understood him...*but how?*<br />
I had to wait for him to get here,for he was the only one who could speak to me.<br />
He was the only one who knew my tongue,and could read my thoughts as well.<br />
*but how?*<br />
I sat under my tree and waited,one by one,each of the other animals took a spot to rest.<br />
I saw other animals that didn't belong there, too...Like the Fur-Seal,how did you get here?<br />
A Rhino was at the edge of the clearing,standing next to an old Oak,scratching himself on a lower branch.<br />
After about half an hour,a few of the animals parted,to make an isle or clear a path...<br />
Emerging from the forest,I saw a Wizard,followed by a Unicorn,<br />
also followed by a pure White Wolf...<br />
Our eyes met,but it seemed,to me at least,not for the first time.<br />
Where had I seen this Wolf before?<br />
As he got closer,I looked into his eyes,they were so familier to me,Where had I seen them?<br />
His eyes were a reflection of my own eyes,they Were My Eyes!*but how?*<br />
Everything went quiet,settling down untill nothing at all could be heard,even the breezes stood still.<br />
The Wolf Spoke...<br />
"You are here to Help our kind as well as your own,you will tell Humanity how they Harm us for Greed.<br />
You will tell them how they destroy our homes for Logging Timber.<br />
You will show them how they destroy our Waters with Off Shore Oil Drilling and Shipping Wrecks.<br />
How they Pollute our sky with Jets and Smoke from factories,and WAR...<br />
You Must tell them, or All will die"...The White Wolf sat...and was slient again.<br />
<br />
The Wizard then Slammed his Staff into the ground,which made a thundering sound,<br />
Unicorn Reared up,it's horn sparkled,then flashed once,and in that blinding flash,<br />
all of the animals had disappeared into the night,back to where they had come from,<br />
and I was left alone.<br />
There was nothing in the clearing to proove anything had happened at all,<br />
save for the Wizards staff,still stuck in the ground where he left it.<br />
I walked over to pull on it,but the staff remained steadfast in the ground,as if planted there,roots had grown.<br />
so I returned to my tree to contemplate,trying not to complicate,but just think things over...<br />
I awoke with a start,in a cold sweat,showered it off,and got dressed.<br />
I fixed myself a thermos of hot Coffee and walked up the hill to my little tree...<br />
to watch the fog roll in...<br />
<br />
From this dream I must conclude,<br />
I must inform humanity about what they already know, but don't seem to care about?<br />
How can One man make a difference in this world today?<br />
Alot of people see "Saving our Planet"as a dead issue,<br />
a few are getting into it,some are doing something about it,but over all,What can I do?<br />
<br />
So I sit here this morning,thinking about my dream,wondering what can I do to help my planet heal?<br />
The only tools I have for this is my mind,a small personal computer,and the internet...<br />
I can't type very fast,but I have alot of time...I wonder...What can One Man really Do?<br />
