Ronald Bingham Poet Verse

A Dark Dream

A Dark Dream

I feel a storm brewing, but there are no clouds in sight,
I know something is coming, cause this feeling I’m having is telling me something is not right.
I’m feeling darkness coupled with confusion and pain,
And a burden laid on me that I cannot explain.

I see desperation, I see fear,
I’m seeing things and there is no one here.
I see outstretched hands, I see hands covering faces,
I see hopelessness in so many places.

Then I awake and realize this was only a dream,
But the feeling it left is so intense, so extreme.
Well I need to get busy and try to shake these feelings,
They were so real, so vivid, so revealing.
