I dreamed a dream
It broke me down.
Echoes of my scream
Nothing else to drown.
Stone pelting foes
Shooed me into dismay
But at the close
I saw a gleam of ray.
Pursued the light
That illusory hope.
Slipped into fright
Collapsed on next slope.
Hope is surreal, a sham
But despair is for real.
Mind is full, don’t cram
I hope abyss will heal.
