Dreary's Dreadful Night
Posted by Erin Mansfield
Thoughts upon a dreary night
Soft slumber so far from sight
Worries that hide below the surface
Conclusions rise without a purpose
My mind lost on winding paths
My heart distant and detached
Until my mind hits on a snag
Memories pour out once again
And emotion overwhelms
There is no more sun or air
Only the struggle for the surface
The crushing pain from drowning
And then once again it's gone
My feet stand steady upon the shore
The waters calm and all's secure
The sun warms the gentle breeze
It must have been some nasty dream
And yet I can't shake this dread
Soft slumber so far from sight
Worries that hide below the surface
Conclusions rise without a purpose
My mind lost on winding paths
My heart distant and detached
Until my mind hits on a snag
Memories pour out once again
And emotion overwhelms
There is no more sun or air
Only the struggle for the surface
The crushing pain from drowning
And then once again it's gone
My feet stand steady upon the shore
The waters calm and all's secure
The sun warms the gentle breeze
It must have been some nasty dream
And yet I can't shake this dread
