The Last Dream

All is dark except for a dim light 
That flicked off in minutes or maybe years
It’s what I thought about on that cold night
Or maybe I’m not the only one
I push my cat away and collapse on
My pillow like it was a marshmallow
And sleep

I dream of the happy times of my childhood,
 The way we would play flashlight tag for hours 
Then when we were tired 
We would stare at the stars 
Thinking about friends, family and life 

I am safe from all that is bad and I smell the fresh flowers
I wake up like a startled mouse and my dream has ended
My cat says to me that my time
Has come and I once again
I fall hard and fast onto my
Marshmallow pillow and sleep
..Forever
