First the dreams came <br />The nightmares followed <br />The pounding sounds in the mind <br />More intense deeper the sleep <br />The cold sweats, dripping wet <br />The shocking wakes ups <br />Heart pounding rapidly, breathing heavy <br />Frightening images, hazy scenes <br />Endless fears, many tears <br />Death looking in, life looking out <br />2: 06 am the magic time, never fails <br />Jumping up, looking all around <br />No coffins, no Hearse <br />Waking up, thinking real <br />Why is it happening every night <br />Is it a sign or just a dream? <br />Make it stop, becoming restless <br />Very tired, exhausting life <br />will this cycle ever end<br /><br />Michael Peterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/restless-dreams-2/
