My Night

It came in the middle of the night
Terrifying it gave enormous fight
The voice proclaimed I came for you
I said no, I don't want you to
It demanded you have to come
I said, my time on earth is not done
Stay away, I will not go
Take someone else you know
The grim reaper left me standing there
I challenged and said, don't you dare
I woke up from my dream
Wondering what in the world did it mean

this reminds me of the night I dreamed the devil got me. It's one of my posts here. I think it was called An Awful DReam or something like that. It is most interesting to read this kind of poem, Phyllis. LUv, Andrea
