The Dark Side of a Dream

Scarceto know where hope dwells

Onthe dark side of a dream,

Whereomens slip inside my mind

Withpiercing clarity.

 

Creepingthrough the veil of night

Onblack cat paws, they find me

Toscream inside my head

Withundenied reality.

 

AndI am helpless to resist,

Butslow to heed the warning,

Confusedand hobbled by deceit

Asconscious thoughts awaken.

 

Cansuch a nightscare serve as warning?

Shouldfuture plans abandon?

CouldI be seer to what portends

Ormight I simply be mistaken?
