Pantoum of my Dreams

October 30, 2008
By Anonymous

Brilliant colors swirl around me
Mysterious shadows form in the corners
The plot of a magical dream unfolds
And I am sucked into my own imagination

Mysterious shadows form in the corners
They prowl, waiting for a chance to strike
And I as sucked into my own imagination
As they pounce at a unsuspecting victim

They prowl, waiting for a chance to strike
But I ignore the moonlight-panthers
As they pounce at a unsuspecting victim
I find the scenery changing again

But I ignore the moonlight-panthers
And the feral hyenas that laugh at the darkness
I find the scenery changing again
As I reach a shimmering pond

And the feral hyenas that laugh at the darkness
That will soon recede from my dreams
As I reach a shimmering pond
I see mermaids beneath the water’s surface

That will soon recede from my dreams
Fading into an undisturbed slumber
I see mermaids beneath the water’s surface
But their joyful song can’t be heard

Fading into an undisturbed slumber
Brilliant colors swirl around me
But their joyful song can’t be heard
The plot of a magical dream has ended
