the dream

you never know what is real, dreaming or waking up

light shines through the mist
darkness gives way to light
people places and event still persist
a whiff of horror summed up in fright
like a falling veil sleep comes
with a tearing it is broken
like a master burgler it steals
with a sharp report you awaken
places you have been to
people you have seen
new worlds awakened
horrors unheard of
pleasures never seen
all but forgotten
with the coming of dawn
adventures abound in sleep
awaken into a new reality
worlds conquered and worlds lost
dreams show us our fragility
