The Dream Catcher

written by: Sona Wilae

@sonawilae

He dreamed my thoughts, embracing my struggles
disassembling riotous nightmares
all too grotesque, within mangled daydreams.
Past breaths of daily hibernating pain
trapped within the walls of my battered soul
as freedom lies awaiting sweet revenge.

Gather our love my sweet knight of dire
romance, doting charms upon heartfelt clouds
cascading across our windows of time.
Nothing shall forsake the seasons of us
culminating our marriage and friendship,
undaunted by life’s peculiar events.

Dream catchers twirl as serendipity
fulfills her assignment, as tearless eyes
perceive miracle angels proclaiming
our unstable brood is still blessed beyond
measure, with unfathomable favor.
We live our dreams, embracing our struggles.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Love should never have an expiration date, nor should love demand unreasonable expectations. Love is tender, kind, long-suffering and merciful.

Sona Wilae

I embody the dreadful experience and disabilities of a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps; sexually assaulted by the dishonorable bias of three male perpetrators in uniform. I am an overcomer of my skin; yet I struggle in prayer hourly to overcome racism, hatred and past abuse. I am a domestic abuse survivor, drug, and alcohol abuser; later to serve as a motivational speaker throughout the state of Florida correctional facilities. I victoriously served as an Outreach Specialist and received the Good Citizenship award in 2009-2010.
I am a writer, poet, and blogger. I write as therapy. Prayerfully I will release my "tell most," autobiography in the years to come. I have lived through many battles, which I chose foolishly, immaturely or nonvoluntarily. I am joyously married and a believer in Jesus Christ.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
