In the canopy of my bed with the windows held ajar

The sky was filled with obscurity, my mind wandering far

Thunder roaring, the wind finally lulled me to sleep

My inner apprehension waned, as I went too deep

Slowly shutting myself away from the busy world 

Away from the hustles and of the painless cold

Running away from my troubles and insatiable woes

Fearing that as I sleep soundly hell would break loose

But along with the dark that always steals the light

As nightmare subtly tries to creep every night 

A ray of shimmering light tries to find its own way 

As if showing the best, with only good things to say

Catching the bad dreams that would dwell in my mind

Now, it is only the best of memories, there I can find

I see a figure shining brightly like the summer sun

The night has calmly passed, indeed it’s over and done

When I woke up, only the nice dream I can seem to remember

The nightmare in my thoughts finally had to surrender.



“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering,
 fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”
-Edgar Allan Poe
