Who are Mr. Sleep and Mr. Dream? (An Experimental Sonnet) <br /> <br />Pray, who are Mr. Dream and Mr. Sleep <br />Who different look between a peep and peep? <br />Can dream a wizard be who, with his wand <br />Conjures up a weird and mystic land? <br />Or is he one of Aesop’s proxy cousins <br />sent to reel off fables in their dozens? <br />Or could he be a fortune-telling prophet <br />Pulling out our future from his pocket? <br /> <br />And who is Sleep? A tramp who’s lost his way - <br />Come to us within our minds to stay <br />And rest awhile awaiting dawn of day? <br />Or is he Peace - of Strife perchance born - <br />Or just a blank sheet from Void torn? <br />Or is he Death’s foetus still unborn?<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-are-mr-sleep-and-mr-dream/
