I'm driving
It's dark
I am thoroughly exhausted and I keep falling asleep at the wheel
I keep crossing over the [yellow} lane marker
(in my dream however the line is white)
Several times I doze off, see that I am crossing over the white line, and then correct my vehicle back into my lane
There is never a feeling of panic
and it never occurs to me to pull over
I clearly see the black road,
and the stark white line
and I am crossing over it
and I continue to do so
I can't wake
I feel the car pitch as I drive off of the edge of a cliff
and now I am falling
My thoughts are of complete despair and failure
"I've really done it this time... there is certainly no second chance for me now... I'm doomed to this fate"
I draw in a deep breathe, anticipating a water landing below and I begin to plan my escape from the car when I finally hit it
Then it occurs to me that I have no idea if there is water below,
or truly unforgiving jagged rocks
I let the air out of my lungs, and brace myself for whatever landing lies in store for me.
And then, I awake
Relief washes over me
As my dreaming and waking thoughts blend
I am overwhelmed and humbled by the impression that, against all odds, I have been given another chance
