I dreamed a dream and in that dream, <br />I dreamed that I had dreamed a dream, <br />Of hope and fairytales come true, <br />I dreamed a dream and thought of truth, <br />I dreamed a dream of life and love, <br />Of fate and angels and God above, <br />I dreamed a dream of good wishes and friends, <br />I dreamed a dream I dreaded to end, <br />But then I woke into my dream, <br />I dreamed I woke in a world obscene, <br />I dreamed a dream of violence and hate, <br />And once again I dreamed of fate, <br />I dreamed a dream of terror and fear, <br />I dreamed that each word went unheard, <br />And so children never spoke a word, <br />I dreamed a dream of demons and beasts, <br />I dreamed a dream that ended at last, <br />I woke in my bed and wondered if, <br />I dreamed a dream of dreams or if, <br />I dreamed a dream of truth that night, <br />And if so I wondered which was truth, <br />And which was merely a dream.<br /><br />Emma Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-dreamed/
