What a Night

It was darkness in the middle of the night Darkness with a small night light Was I dreaming of the twilight All I remember — I was falling then hit the floor And then there was blood, red, red all about I became alert something had happened I had no doubts I woke my husband trying to be polite I need help to get up I know its the middle of the night Red red red I must have looked a fright He never wakes up but he quickly turned on the light And there we were in Emergency at Dominican Thus a once quiet night began With staples and stitches and instruction to go What happened and why I still do not know Meds or a dream perhaps, a wish to fly The desire to be in the midst of starlight in the sky Hopefully I’ll be awake and standing if I give the stars another try
