Dream ( or nightmare
)
Last night I had a
dream,
I was going, somewhere in a
car.
You were there beside
me
Destination looked, so very
far.
We were moving very very
fast,
The roads were
wide.
But I was not
scared
'Cause you were by my
side.
An then appeared a
bridge
A bridge from
nowhere,
The car screeched to a
halt
On the bridge, over a
swirling river.
There were some
signs
Which I could never
read.
Someone just told
me
The bridge was dangerous to
tread.
We got down from the
car
And walked a
bit.
At the middle of the
bridge
Was a very deep
pit.
We could see the
water
Thru' the deep down
dent.
I got so much
scared
It almost made me
faint.
I could see the water
gushing
Rushing in full
current
It was so
scary
Something I can't
explain.
I was about to go
back
When you grabbed my
hand
You told me, 'We can jump
over it'
Your suggestion, I couldn't
stand.
I shouted at
you
I told you
'No',
You argued with
me,
And (like always), you won
the show.
Finally I
agreed,
I agreed to cross the
pit.
I never had the
courage
The pit looked so
deep.
You showed me the
way
You wanted to cross b'fore
me
You took one giant
leap,
And reached where you
wanted to be.
Then it was my
turn
To cross the pit, with the
river in rage.
But I was afraid of taking
the leap
Finally, I mustered
courage.
I took one giant
leap,
But something held me
back
My feet was
stuck
Was it my shoe
strap?
I feel thru' the pit
Fell in so
deep,
The experience was so
chilling
Enough to take away my
sleep.
I woke up on the
bed
With sweat all over
me
I switched on the
lights
(So that), where I was, I
could see.
I don't know what this
means,
Why I had this
dream
Why I had such a
vision
That made me feel so
grim.
I thought that I should
write it
Before I forget, what I
saw.
So I'm putting this on
paper,
The way I saw it,
unsuppressed and raw.
I got so very
scared
Now I am scared to
sleep
Such dreams are very
painful
It takes away a good
night's sleep.
Is anybody knowing
Why I had this
dream
Why I woke up with this
pain?
Why it made me
grim?
