A Dream Poem by Samra Haq

Last night, I went to bed
Feeling very tired
I couldn't sleep, right away
I tossed and turned sides ways
This is quite normal for me
Sleep comes hard for thee
Making my mind to get relaxed
For a While, I threw away my past
Finally when I got to sleep
I knew that I was aware of dreaming
Most often, I was aware of my dream
I hardly remember what I had seen
I somehow remember waking up
Though I didn't Actually wakeup
Not in a reality, anyway
I went to another world that day
I think I was chased away
Not here, it was just too far away
I woke up from the bizarre dream
By entering into another dream
'Reality dream' as I call it
What's so strange about it?
This was a dream of loneliness
I saw a shadow of emptiness
I thought I was going to fall
As though I'm just nothing at all
I went to so quickly, chased away
And then I woke up to a sunny day
And if the nightmare came along
Tomorrow, there will be another day
The dream made me upset all night
'Cause majority of them come outright
Sometimes I dream of places, high on the rock
I dream of wet and sand under my walk
I dream of people, I would love to greet
I dream of the populace, I am going to meet
I think I'm hearing the singer's sing
I dream of travelling, holding a map in my hand
I wish for never coming back from this land
I dream of finding myself in the full sense
I dream of jumping and crumbling off the fence
I dream of anything that I know
I dream of freedom: that I won't let go
I wish, I woke up, I won't get deprived
I dream of my future and wonder at my pride
As my heart is flying like the birds
I am singing inside of my own words
And if my dream may ever come true
I know you, God, it will because of you
That's precisely the reason
I love my life, and the things made by you
That's precisely the reason
I love my life, and the things made by you
Last night, I went to bed
Feeling very tired
I couldn't sleep, right away
I tossed and turned side ways
