The Dream

The Dream

Zephyr and Morpheous came together;
Took me on a journey,
There I was free falling,
Through a swirling dark eternity.

All the things that I had saw,
In waking hours of day,
Formed vivid pictures inside my mind
And filled me with dismay.

There were the hateful thoughtless acts,
Exposed in evil guises,
Dreadful words that slipped unchecked
And downright sinful vices.

I tried to stop my headlong passage,
My hands, grasping at thin air,
The Gods of Wind and Sleep just laughed;
As if they didn't care.

Hot shame rolled down my pallid cheeks
At all the pain I saw,
For all the wicked deeds protrayed,
Every thoughtless thought recalled.

For a fraction of a second,
I felt a slowing pause,
In that breathless moment,
I found a righteous cause;

To eradicate all ugliness
Within my mortal  scope;
Fill the world with beauty,
Show others how to hope.

Put an end to selfishness,
The thoughts of single human beings,
Take more time to appreciate
The majestic mountains, skies and seas.

This nightmarish voyage, with passage paid,
Was a message in a way,
Took me places, I would choose to avoid,
As in my bed I lay.

But, I guess the Gods saw hope in me,
For they permitted me to wake;
From their gruesome visage,
They allowed for me to take,

A reawakening of heart,
Knowledge I could share,
The world can be a better place
When mankind, changes his maliciousness, to care.
