Where did the dream Start.......?
He remembers now.... it was in his wanting to go... to leave......... where he was....
High in the Alpines somewhere..........
The rough tree bark of the Pines... and the green needles and the rolling terrain....
A partially obscured view of the Horizon....
A distant red hot flowing Lava........ he was anxious deep down inside to leave... but
His Pal was not ready... and he did not want to be pushy or rude....
and look now... red hot molten Lava was crossing the road... the thought of driving through it occurred to him... but he thought how unwise.......
I know we will travel the other direction.... but they waited too long and guess what?
Yes.... red hot molten lava was flowing there as well....
So back to center... up on the knoll..........
He kept thinking about driving into the molten heave ........ he could see the tires melting in his imagination....
where left?.... He started climbing up a tree on the last of the high ground..... up, branch to branch... he found a nest to fall into up at the top... ahhhhhhhh it was Heavenly......... he could rest.....
Suddenly he felt good all over............ last thing he remembers is the tree burned through at the base due to the Lava.... and it fell... he was in his nest and could feel the fall... towards the red hot Lava...
but suddenly he was young and new.. and flew up right out of that nest... not feeling a bit of pain....
only joy and happiness.... then he awoke... and thought about the Petrified Forest.
It all stemmed back to his wanting to go... and the trepidation he felt in the beginning....
And how he perhaps should not of faltered .... in leaving... waiting for his good friend who was in no hurry....
