Lucid Dream
#WritcoPoemPrompt37

In the quietest part of the night,
When you hover between dark and light,

Wondering if you can float away on dreams,
Hoping they won't turn into screams,

Closing your eyes as you hid yourself in a blanket,
Wishing that the bed won't turn into a casket,

You snoozed away as the wind blows the curtains,
The cold seeped inside like you are on the top of the mountains,

Waking up only to find a different world,
You tried to scream but there's no words,

Not even a voice could be heard,
Thinking that this is a little absurd,

The silence is deafening,
It was really unsettling!

In the darkness you saw a man,
you felt fear and started to run,

He followed like a beast,
trying to hunt you and put in a feast.

Tears emerged from your eye sockets,
It is like you sweated a buckets,

A never ending road led you to cliff,
dead end made you stiff,

You wished to fly to the sky,
Wanting to leave fear and try,

Caressing the borrowed tiny wings,
Spreading it far and wide,

You jumped off and glided,
Only to fall down head first and end up dying.
