In A Dream Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

In A Dream



In a dream I sleep

with eyes wide open

looking at the skies

watching the angels

move in unison

among the stars

I let my hands

mold the clouds

into different shapes

chasing a flock of sheep

going where the wind

is like a shepherd of the night

I put a mound of hope

inside a crater of the moon

like a feathered pillow

in preparation for a night cap

before the next satellite

comes looking

for a drink of water

then I stirred at the sound

of imaginary people

running in the hallway

with my feet reaching the floor

and my flailing hands closing

the nocturnal door

in a dream I sleep

no more, ever.
