Dream StateA Poem by Amy Whetzellits one of my best, I thinkIn the cold brutal darkness With pain all around In the midst of my memories No happy thoughts to be found As I roll in a sea Of deep endless sleep My dreams come alive Wherever monsters may creep Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide I spread my wings But I cannot fly This mystical beast Of a time long ago Has a grip on my soul And just won’t let go I scream in a voice That delivers no sound I see through the eyes Where no sight can be found I begin to run On a path with no end I look behind me And see the beast again No more can I run So I turn to fight Only darkness around With no beast anywhere in sight Have I finally won? Without a single blow? Has this beast of my heart Finally let go? As I open my eyes To a brand new day And sun beams wash All my fears away I realize now With the beast finally gone That time heals all wounds If you can hold out that long
