Hallucinations
September 9,2009
 By: Rose Marie Rideout

In the middle of the night
When all are fast asleep,
In through the halls
I saw it clearly creep.
Taking my every breath,
I was so scared,
The only thing I could do,
Yes dear that was to call you.
I opened my eyes,
To watch you jump from bed,
To look out the hall,
At what I did dread.
You came back in,
as I watched it still swirl,
The smoke in the hall,
was crushing my world.
All is ok, just a bad dream,
I’m sorry I woke you,
With my loud scream,
Now what will I do.
I cannot seem to sleep,
Somehow I just can’t rest,
I may as well get up,
and do what I feel I do best.
So here you have it from my pen,
The one thing that truly scares me,
To start hallucinating of things,
That aren’t really there to see.
