Just A Dream

'Ahhhhhhhh!!!'

The lights turn on.

Mom runs in and holds me tight.

'Now don't you worry baby doll,'

she says with a kiss,

'Everything's gonna be alright.'

It was just a dream...

that had seemed so real.

Just a dream in which

I saw my greatest fears

And highest moments of joy

Just a dream in which

I saw myself blush 

As humility dawned.

Just a dream in which

I saw love...

And I saw it being taken away from me.

Just a dream in which

Just as i was about to call Death

I saw the reason for life... and lived.

It was just a dream 

But it gave me a single spark

A reason to live... to love.

Author's Note

I wanted to know if everyone understands it the way I meant it to be.

I think that dreams are often much more than unconscious thoughts- sometimes, they are the soul's way to wake up and pay attention to something very important in life. We often forget the mild pleasant dreams, but nightmares are a much more effective wake up call.
