Sweet Dreams Become Nightmares

Some nights are dark, not dark as in darkness They are dreams that turn into nightmares. The dark thoughts cloud our thinking Dreams and nightmares travel together Day to day happenings can trigger this experience Some are short and disappear when we awaken Others are adventures with persons unknown. Where do you come from? an unanswered question On and on this happening occurs. My latest adventure into this unknown I will do my best to pass it on. Off to bed, fall asleep, toss and turn Pillow becomes my enemy as I punch and fold. Then a sound so quiet, awoke me from a troubled sleep Eyes open slowly, laying thinking. Sound was in the room with no one around A slight rustle of clothing, clearly heard Someone or something was in my home. The sound still there despite me being awake Nightmares like this are hard to take. I sat upright, now fully awake The feeling of someone there Hair on back of neck in full alert. Nothing visible, no mist or shapes. I fell back asleep, awash with confusing dreams When I awoke, all still fresh in my thoughts Was it a dream? or a visit from whom?
