The Dream
Have you ever awakened
In the middle of the night
All sweaty and trembling
Shaking With fright?
Only to realize
It is just a bad dream
That woke you
With a loud scream.
Can you remember
The delight
As you returned
To pillow sleeping peacefully
The rest of the night?
Do you wonder
Why such dreams occur?
Was it something
In past life
ย Your memory bestirred?
The mind is a huge storehouse
With memories good and bad
Sometimes resurfacing in sleep
Making you scared.
