Mouse N Dream Poem by Donald R Wolff JR

There, looking in, outside
With eyes of glow and silver shine
Staring with those tiny eyes
A mouse, I realize

Steady, tiny, little beast
This is a dream, I am not a feast
Go away; You give the creeps
Run off and let me sleep

Now, in the window, two of them
One staring in, one with a grin
I see you brought a mocking friend
I will not let you in

Behind the glass, within this dream
Another mouse now stares at me
And then, just then, begins to sing
A lullaby to me

Go away and let me be
You are nothing more, but just a dream
Three monsters in the moonlight sheen
Pretending, mighty beasts

As the singing starts to fade
Like apparitions dream away
The mice are gone, I'm here to stay
In dreams where I remain
