Nightmare #2
As I lie asleep
Dreaming of forever
Because I only think in terms
Of not today
I saw myself in a cloud
Lingering over an ocean
Of people of cities
A bird flew towards me
And we sat on a cloud over the world
We chatted about the sky the moon
He left parting words of advice
"Don't fall off the cloud"
And I promptly dropped to the ocean
Of people of cities
And in dreaming of my own fall
I saw the end before the end came to me
A flower bed of fresh soil
Behind a stone wall
A tablet
A name
A life
Me falling all the way six feet under
Dying then dead
Under a flower bed
Beneath these unforgiving clouds
I looked up
This morning
With no more dreams
And saw a clear day
