Awake! Awake! <br />I heard the call, <br />So far away my memory crawled <br />Along the dark and lonely pit <br />To see what I could make of it. <br /> <br />The light came rustling in the room. <br />I realized it was almost noon; <br />I had been asleep so long, <br />it seemed........ <br />As if my life had been redeemed. <br /> <br />I had closed my eyes for just a bit, <br />And I, but, thought I would dug a pit. <br />It was just a dream; <br />a nightmare sure <br />Where nothing really did occur.<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-just-a-dream-4/
