Little Red Chair

This is something based off of a nightmare I had as a child

Outside the church,

sat a little red chair.

The sky was gray,

a storm was on the way.

A little girl was there,

and she wanted the chair.

The closer she went,

the less the wind would relent.

Before she knew,

a twister had grew,

and had come for her on that day.

Grabbing her swiftly,

it came so quickly,

and carried her far, far away.

Reminiscent of the line from wizard of Oz "You're not in Kansas anymore". Dreams can be very strange creatures, especially recurring dreams or dreams you have as a child. The red chair against the grey sky would be seen as a warning of danger, but in dreams, we are unable to choose their path.
Thank you for sharing what makes me remember my own childhood dreams.
