Out Damned Dreams!!
That creep like shadows
In darkness through my sleep
Wearing an ancient tunic
Sewn with threads of misery.

Where is the peace
This soul seeks?

I dare not close my eyes
Lest you pull from the
Pocket of my past
That jagged edge
I thought destroyed
And plunge it into
This healing heart.

Begone!!
I would command you leave,
To no longer plague me,
But you are not mine to command.
Only the uniform of time
Do you respect.

Sounds like a night's prayer that many of us should heed! Well done, Sir!

Fantastic!!! It is also inspiring me to write one about the sleepless spots of night. A contrast only in the opposite of dreaming.

Well done. My exact thoughts for about 20 years. Now, time has uniformly handled the recollections.
Thank you.
