It Was All A Dream

Desperately trying to get a foothold

Scrambling up the side of a cliff

Slowly sliding, slipping southwards

Can’t hold on, can’t get a grip.

I fall to my death, landing on my bed

Suddenly, I’m wide awake

Eyes wide open, all is in darkness

Lying in my bed, I’m perfectly safe.

So relieved, I close my eyes

Go back to sleep & dream some more

Once again I’m on a cliffside

Facing peril as I softly snore.

Awaken to the dawn as I die again

Sunlight brings me peace of mind

Won’t sleep again, I jump out of bed

Night may be cruel but day is kind.
