Awakened From A Deep Slumber

In a deep slumber Dreaming of the unknown Suddenly awakened I was startled My cat beside me She is fast asleep She did not awake me Something did awaken me It felt like a shape Laying beside me I sat up quickly Searching the bedroom Looking under the bed There was nothing seen Yet I felt something I did not sleep My thoughts were racing What was it laying Beside me unseen Was it a ghost? if so who was it? It was eerie

Oooh. I'd have run screaming like a little girl phew!. I had to sleep with one eye open one night. No one is going tell me John Bioy,' Richard Thomas, is acting in the movie,'' Dow Out and Dangerous''. No one could act that good. He must be a crazed mad psychopath. It could have been anything. Hope it went away. well done got the creeps, Pete.

A mystery evolved with wonderous poetry intense and fearful, and most unknown. You told your dream wonderfully well Darlene, and believing it to be true even when you woke up made it more creepy. I love this poem, it definitely aroused emotions. Well done. Best wishes from Wendy.

Well pictured and captured. This happened to me three days back. I felt something walked on me, I woke up quickly and turned on the lights yet I saw nothing. So I prayed and slept like a baby with the confidence that I have prayed. Dear ma, let's always endeavour to pray and plead the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST over our souls before we sleep night or day. I love you, Shalom.
