It had almost got .to midnight

on a Thursday night it seemed

i had slept  much earlier

and at that time I dreamed

i was in my new house

Many miles away

when this evil sound

filled up my head

lights flashing

and away

a fire alarm

I jumped out of my bed

which is for me

dangerous at the best of times

and fell  extraordinarily

outside the  door

children were crying

rushing up and down

the aisle

i went to look for my Dear friend

I couldn’t reconcile

my dream, and this commotion

had I engaged some dial

In an accessible room

you see

there are alarms and we

have to be observant

and

this was just clearly

something far more worrisome

getting back inside my room

I remembered  I was by myself

all that doom and gloom

mixed up with a dream I was having

threw me and I tried

to re engage

with the story

I talked it through inside

panic set in not just me

families,   with children too

I mean it’s really frightening

no lights what does one do?

think about their families!  their friends

Their  belongings,   I

thought about my friend, who wasn’t with me

which was why

i had to actually pinch myself

she’s always with me, then

of course I remembered I was by myself

i came all over Zen

druidic,  daft as a mackerel me

Closely losing my sanity.
