Memorial Day / Veterans Day Poem, #20

NIGHTMARES

Shhh! Movement there
Shadows darting
Can you see them?
Hear them?
Maybe in the wire

It's all right
You're dreaming
There's nothing in the night
Sleep... sleep

They're here
There's movement
Shadows coming closer
No way now
No stopping... no stopping

You're dreaming... you're dreaming
Nothing to fear
You're here, home
Sleep... sleep

No! No! They're here
Shadows in the night
Deep in the perimeter
No stopping... No stopping

Sleep... sleep
No more fear
It's over... over
Sleep... sleep

Written from the heart by Mike Yuille
