I dreamed a dream of dreaming <br /> <br />Laying softly in my bed <br /> <br />Sugar plums and torment <br /> <br />Dancing in my head <br /> <br />I dreamed a dream of life and death <br /> <br />Of hope and blood and glory <br /> <br />Of dancing through a sunlit field <br /> <br />With daisies, grass and bodies <br /> <br />I was but a child <br /> <br />Loving, small and free <br /> <br />As I glided silently <br /> <br />My life ran out of me <br /> <br />I laughed and giggled in happiness <br /> <br />As a child is apt to do <br /> <br />As I stepped around lifeless forms <br /> <br />Battered black and blue <br /> <br />Not a care had I <br /> <br />Not one in the world <br /> <br />As I pranced beneath the sky <br /> <br />'Til lightning struck with crackling fury <br /> <br />And I lay down to die <br /> <br />I dreamed a dream of dreaming <br /> <br />Of happiness and and strife <br /> <br />I dreamed a dream of dreaming <br /> <br />I dreamed a dream of life<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-dreams-2/
