Last Night I Dreamt.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Last Night I Dreamt....



Last night I dreamt
not about God nor belief
nor about great relief
BUT about an ugly old man
Ugly?
yes, you can see that
though in all darkness
he is so very very ugly
you dare not to bet
he is too ugly
to chase me!

that ugly old man
was constantly chasing me
finally he became exhausted
I looked behind me
where was he?

he dissipiated
right ahead
in the flames
of hell's darkest bed

a metaphorical pun

This is better to dream about God rather that an ugly Old man.But unfortunately you have dreamt and ugly old man who chases you. This is so sad. But dream is a dream. It may be furious or pleasant. However God is with you. We should constantly communicate with God. Ugliness in darkness or beauty in light, both are created in parallel world. Like sun takes out vaopur from each thing, we have to grasp the positive theme.10
