New Day
When the sun sets and the moon is high, nightmares creep into my bedroom and drag me into the undertow, hold me down as I claw for air.
Each new day dawns, tangled in the threads of my dreamcatcher, childhood memories fading in the morning sun.

Despite the childhood nightmares you seem to have been able to cope with them visiting you.
Breath-taking Monica..your brevity takes us down to that dark place..beautifully..Jae
Great description of how nightmares can have a sticky hold on us between the dusk and the dawn.
I've been there. Those childhood memories can haunt the night. Love how well you express those feelings.
... Have you been reading my mind? Because that's exactly what happens to me on the occasional night now and again *shudders* Enough dreams about childhood terrors already!
Very poetic little piece - the poet in me approves highly.
Hello.

I seldom get nightmares, but have in the past. The ones I've had STICK with me; and I can replay them on demand....and they still scare me.
