Nightmare
Exert and run away right now,
Leave this nightmare as elm street comes;
Meet scary pun as deep sleep ploughs.
Sudden this scare of frightful sums,
Turn on the lights or seek cover.
Notice that fear that holds you here;
Instruct your sight to dodge trickster,
Glimpse hope my dear that faith can steer;
Hurl and detach that sense of loss,
Turn away then that evil tense;
Make grace attach to purge bad toss,
Abide you can on common sense;
Rupture the net where fear debits,
Expect the set that light credits.
