The other night...
When I went to sleep,
I took so many nightmares
With me –
That I was awake.

 

When I was awake,
The darkness showed me,
The realities of my life:
The moon above, a few clouds,
A star-lit spangled night.

 

I saw it all.
It was a great show...
My nightmares were gone,
And what remained with me:
Made me feel great.
