My Night

It came in the middle of the night Terrifying it gave enormous fight The voice proclaimed I came for you I said no, I don't want you to It demanded you have to come I said, my time on earth is not done Stay away, I will not go Take someone else you know The grim reaper left me standing there I challenged and said, don't you dare I woke up from my dream Wondering what in the world did it mean

this reminds me of the night I dreamed the devil got me. It's one of my posts here. I think it was called An Awful DReam or something like that. It is most interesting to read this kind of poem, Phyllis. LUv, Andrea
