A Dream

Perched like a bird on a limb

Yet ready to fall any minute.

I called for some help

But no one heard me.

 

The branch was ready to fall

And my weight made it more likely.

Seems it was miles below,

Which added to my anxiety.

 

just as the branch broke away,

I heard my brother call.

It seems it was all a dream

That kept me from a fall.

the scale was trembling between statics and dynamic. . . your brother’s call has impeded your qualitative leap, returning you to your bloody perching. Next time be prompter, sir ;)) Cheers, alex

A fine write. To a brother's love even so in a dream.
