Sleeping My Sorrows Away

I can hear myself snoring then I suddenly wake! It sounded maybe something like an earthquake. Then I lay on my side slip back into sleep I hardly dream it's so very deep. Maybe I half wake then comes a flash of dreams all about death but nothing is as it seems. Someone long gone from my life is in the back yard digging my grave, but my father won't have it my broken neck he wants to save! I hear my puppy dog whining she wants to go out; that's about how I feel and I also want to shout! I want to reach Heaven with my voice even though I know my deceased had no choice. The Lord decided when He'd take them home just like He knew I'd write this poem. SKB
