Dream Recall
As a child I remember so clear
Walking down the hall
Half asleep and half awake
Kneeling to a crawl.
Stop can't move!
What is that?
Someone holding me?
Should I grab a bat?
A ghost perhaps
Or maybe Dad
Is this a dream
Oh, please it's bad
I can see the light
Of my Mom's lampshade
Almost there
I need aid.
I start to scream
No words come out
I feel frozen
Beyond a doubt.
A spirit maybe
Holding me?
Please let go
Set me free.
Oh thank god
I can move
I run I run
Get back my groove.
Mom and Dad
Come quick and look
Stop your talking
And reading books.
Nothings there
See, lights on
Just a dream
Sleep till dawn.
