I Was Dreaming

I was dreaming.

Something felt wrong;

my eyes wouldn't open.

They kept fluttering;

I couldn't see much.

All I could see

was the flashes of sunrise.

I was speaking to a friend,

and the phone fell out of my hand.

She was still talking,

but I couldn't speak.

No matter how hard I tried,

silence from my end.

But she kept talking

as if I were just listening,

and listening I was.

Sound was faint,

weak,

and shutting down.

Still laying down,

I let a song

fill the dream with joy.

I am awake.
