ALARMED

I rested my mind
with the silence
of the midnight hour.

When sleep arrived,
I was quite ready
for my cosmic drift.

I floated along
in tranquillity,
like a celestial body.

Relaxed by ethereal breezes
and magical moonlight,
I was lost to reality.

Then my worst nightmare
clanged its message,
from my bedside.

It told me that it was 6 o' clock
in the morning.
I crashed down to earth,
and reality.
