The Nightmare
As I lay in silence sleeping,
Trapped within a mellow dream,
Skillful shadows around me scheme,
While stars above their watch are keeping,
A nightmare ensnares me,
I begin writhing,
My heartbeat races, nothing is as it may seem,
I jerk and I tremble, then I wake and I scream,
Clutching my heart as if from my chest it was leaping,
It was simply a nightmare,
A horrifying vision I saw,
Off my mellow dream shadows took their plunder,
So down again I lay, my body consumed by despair,
My nightmare left me awake, in awe,
My mellow dream had been torn asunder,
But at least the nightmare was gone.
