My Dream

A Poem by Vanessa

11/06/08

His eyes in the light of the moon
Shined like no other
His tears dripped down his face
More than I had ever seen
His breaths in place
With the beat of his heart
His hands in a fist
With no one to hit
His steps shaking
His head sweating like if he were nervous
His body came close with nothing to say
His voice seemed to have walked away
And to wake up in the middle
of the night knowing it was
Just a dream!
