    Dream
    On bed now, eyes on ceiling
    Wondering, caring
    What’s next?
    Darkness comes in, caressing
    Heavy eyelids falling
    What’s up?
    Found myself inside car driving
    White dusty road before me speeding
    What’s goin’ on?
    A reflection on my rear view mirror eyeing
    Man on a tricycle overtaking
    Steps on gas accelerating
    Gone is he, smiling
    What’s next?
    Lovely streets, impressive homes, gardens flowering,
    People walking, chatting, laughing
    What’s goin’ on?
    Saw a man goin’ upstairs frowning,
    Seemingly familiar spying
    Yeah I know him, hurrying
    Breath gasping, looking
    People all about, he’s nowhere, losing
    Suddenly darkness gone, light shinning,
    Seeking, recalling
    T’was my papa passing by, longing
    Only a dream realizing
    What's its meaning?

    Sometimes dreams are a way of the dead communicating with the living. At least that's what my grandmother used to tell me. Nice poem!

    You're right, I believe my father asked for more prayers from me. Thanks for the read.

    to dream itself is a form of imagination...thanks!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
