Nightmare On My Street

I awaken at 6, buzzing in a sweat

A strange dream, an omen but nothing to fret

Playing with knives & dancing with death

Armageddon or apocalypse, undecided yet!

Back in my own bed for the first time all year

Easter upon us & feeling no fear

I dreamed of my parents, long departed but dear

Close we have remained, year upon year!

My mother was wrong & my father was right

My Mom in the darkness, my Dad in the light

I was saving us all, not without a fight

Awoke to a new day, shining & bright!
