The Dream

It came in a dream

my face all blue

she saw my death

somehow she new

stay home this night

she begged of me

but a young girl wants to be free

the knife plunged in deep

I recalled her words and began to weep

stay home this night she begged of me

but a young girl wants to be free

the rope around me

I did not struggle

for I knew my fate

should have listened to my mother

but now it's much too late

I close my eyes and wait to die

and finally fall asleep

I wake to hear the end of her prayer

"I pray the Lord your soul to keep"

I open my eyes

I am not dead

Mom has a wash cloth on my head

You have a fever

It's pretty high

try to sleep she says with a sigh

The old days

I remember those days when I was young and my mother put a cloth on my head for a fever. Reading this brought me back a happy memory. Thank you!

No, thank YOU for reading.

No, thank YOU for reading. Its not one of my best. My favorites if its okay to have favorites of your own poems is Miss Spider, Widdendream, The Meaning Of Life and Going Home so if you do read any more of mine I'll hope you'll read those. Theres one, Blood and Tears which is not necessarily well written but it came from the heart. Its about something traumatic that happened when I was nine years old. Thats what I love about poetry. Its a good way of expressing thoughts and feelings we normally keep inside. Btw, handsome pic!
