I lay in bed to watch you sleep
As you drift off and slowly breathe
So calm and restful an peace
Your eyes moving quickly yet not aware
I lie very still as not to make a peep
I see your expression turn to rage
Flailng and kicking escaping the cage
Could it be a nightmare interupting sleep
You scream out loud and awaken at once
Skin sweating and warm and heart pounding
What could be going on inside your head
The mind misunderstood and elusive
Neurons firing and messages flying around
What could make such a strange phenomenon
