Letter to a Dream

Dear Dream,

You who can take me into the most wondrous field

Or bring me to the most fear stricken state

From which my mind needs to be healed

You, formed from which I’ve had on my plate

The places you have taken me have been nice as of yesterday

However, you may be ready to drop a nightmare in their wake

But when I go to sleep later today

I’d better not feel one bit of a shake

For even though you are the lord while I’m asleep

The nightmare stricken peasant in me is ready to revolt.

Waiting for the next nightmare you send for my mind to keep

Which will then cause me from my bed to bolt

From the flames of hell to the darkness of an alleyway

If one more nightmare I receive

Our relationship may go away

And from your house I will retrieve

The key to my unconscious mind

After which, you will never find.

Sincerely,

The dreamer
