A hellish
nightmare
or heaven’s
dream
A Poets
choice
where virgin’s
scream
Prison
waits
all hope
recalled
With heart
despondent
if I dream
small
Freedom’s
sleep
my one
repast
All shadows
banished
new questions
asked
And fortune
trades
the moment
clean
For one
more chance
at sight
unseen
— To live renewed in heaven’s dream —
(Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
