Analysis of An Illusive Dream
"You stay there and rest, okay?"
Offering no resistance
Turning out the lights
Closing the door behind
In darkness.
Attempting to make sense
Of what had just happened
A mind playing tricks
Or hallucinatoins?
"Maybe that's what it was?"
Speaking to the night
Maybe it was only a fantasy?
He is definitely the stuff...
That real dreams are made of.
