Was This a Dream

The evenings cool became tempered. The dreams made light of the day There in shadows were fearful things Yet the light shone brightly in the room What is it I asked that things are unbalanced A journey into thoughts, I heard echoing The day had been long and unbearable Though sanity prevailed in a pureness I have lost control of rationality I sobbed Stop this instantly came loud and clear Above the dream state a peace descended It drove me deeper into a restful state. The fearful shadows shrank, light came in. Who or what are you? That brings such a peace. I heard my muffled voice squeak out. “I am reality that comes with your rationality” What else could I think in that evenings glow? I woke and walked to the window as if dreaming There outside fireflies played as if dancing I thought I could hear their wings singing In an instant all became clear to me Holding fear in evening’s special dark Would only unsettle the mind in dreams I returned to where I would sleep well..
