A Disturbed Sleep

Dead poets
haunt your dreams
and disturb the sleep.

You wake up,
startled
as in a battlefield
fighting
the airy nothing.

Last night,
you remember,
the mosquito fight
you could not win.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
