Asha’s nightmares Shhh, Asha dear, calm in your sleep, there’s nothing coming causing fear, you have a bad dream, it’s not real you see another time or place the breeze came from the east calm, slow, barely disturbing spider webs, hardly moving leaves on trees, oceans flat as sheets of glass, no cloud reflections seen [...]
