A Nightmare
I had a dream, a Nightmare
A scary kid with a frighting Stare
The Fright of which, I couldn't bare
As if I was being caught in a snare
My Heart Sinking to the ocean Floor
soul shaken to its deepest core
Throat aching , as if it is sore
I want to run, run to the shore
He speaks, Speaks in a Language unknown to me
faces Shifting in Distance all of them familiar to me
Speaking, speaking in a Language Unknown to me
I am alone, alone among the people So Beloved to me
A distant voice resonates my thoughts
I close my eyes, and feel my soul
I seek protection, protection of my lord;
"I want to be safe with the master of the day break,
from the evil of what he created
and from the evil of the dark when it takes over."
(Al-Quran 113:1-3)
