Nightmare

As I reach up to the sky
On the mountain peak so high
I feel my body being surrounded by cold air
I have no despair
I walk around, eager to see what will come and in the distance, I hear a freshwater stream
I slowly walk towards the sound that makes my ears tingle
On the way I hear birds, and deers dancing with joy
I see viridescent trees and massive areas of rural land.
The sound of flowing water grows louder
And far away I see clear water, springing around with joy
I see water explosions
I hear deep, low rumbling
I feel the sub-zero water suffocating my hand
I taste the cold misty air
The refreshing scent of fresh flowers fills my mind
But
I wake up, feeling horrible
The sky is red, a rising ocean
Melting icecaps
It was all a dream
