Once I dreamed I awoke on a ship <br />In my own special room, as she swayed and dipped <br />I walk down the corridors, just like a queen <br />Touching and seeing the things in my dream <br />I stopped at the railing and looked at the sea <br />And it just as fine and as clear as could be <br />But storm clouds arose and the ship began to toss <br />I ran back to my room, completely at loss <br />How to find a life jacket somewhere on that boat <br />Something in case, just to keep me afloat <br />I hunted for hours; it seemed quite a search <br />But when I woke up, I was wearing a purse.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-117/
