It Was Just A Dream Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Awake! Awake!
I heard the call,
So far away my memory crawled
Along the dark and lonely pit
To see what I could make of it.

The light came rustling in the room.
I realized it was almost noon;
I had been asleep so long,
it seemed........
As if my life had been redeemed.

I had closed my eyes for just a bit,
And I, but, thought I would dug a pit.
It was just a dream;
a nightmare sure
Where nothing really did occur.
