The Festival of Nothing

I woke up from a deep slumber Saw my father alive and sober Saw my mother proud for being asleep And seeing these unpredictable things I looked around too find a mirror As I glanced to it all I could view Was bones and dark grey clouds I knew I could be dead because as Soon as I turned around My parents were gone All the color of the dream Was faded the paradise I was seeing was just the festival of nothing Sorrow was all I felt I spoke alone but loud asking if I could go back home But death came from around me And said I couldnt go at all I stared at all the skulls in the floor A song circus like played from far away Out of nowhere A gigantic elephant with no skin on it began too dig itself out of it's own grave suddenly more than one began to do the same The floor began to shake As I continued to stare I could not focus on anything Besides these bizarre creatures coming from the ground Death was long gone Leaving me with an ora The floor opened and crack my way I jumped into the ora And it shifted into hyper drive mode I woke in hospital with tubes inside my veins I began to cry and cry wondering why This came about and I had no just died
