Of a Dream

Trapped in this vast, void darkness,

I walk with arms bound and eyes wide open,

although I do not see a thing. 

I do not stop. 

Feeling and groping as I went,

never pausing, 

not noticing there were even others. 

in my own unparalleled mind, 

I was, 

and always will be, 

alone. 

I feel my heart, 

thank God it still beats.

I now have the need to be assured I still live. 

I walk. 

I run. 

But eternity streches far beyond where I can reach. 

I see a light, 

but it is not for me. 

I am failing. 

I have started to fall. 

I wake up at the foot of my bed, 

with a short lived moment of relief as I realize; 

Dearest, I have just witnessed a dream of my emotions.
