This poem is from a collection of poetry that is half light, half dark. This poem is from part 1, Dawn, is about beauty. Part 2, Twilight, is about the darker aspects of humanity and society and the world.

I had a dream once,

of strange unusual creatures

A bat with one wing,

like a sail, on its back

A beautiful fish with a

rainbow frilled mane

brilliant blue

dotted and striped

with splashes of yellow

green and purple

And a tiny mouse

with electric fur

living in the desert

becoming electrically charged

by frequent thunderstorms

I had a dream in which all

these unique creatures were

dying

If they existed,

would we turn a blind eye?

As with the Panda

and Bengal Tiger
