It’s Kind of like a Dream.

You wake up,

Startled by the sound of crows outside your window, or a snow plow rumbling down the road.

In that first second of regaining your thoughts,

You forget everything.

That dream you had is gone,

lost forever.

It only remains in the depths of your brain,

Where you repress the memories you would rather not remember.

But why did you have that dream?What took place while your eyes were closed?

You don't know.

You can think so hard your head aches,

But it won't come back.

It's almost like you lost consciousness or became disconnected from reality.

But the dream is gone,

Your memory has failed you,

And the seconds, minutes and hours you were asleep become lost.

You want so bad to tell someone about your dream.

But you can't remember.

You're left with no explanation.
