Eosophobia - I Fear The Dawn

Eosophobia: I Fear the Dawn

I am lying awake in bed

Sad thoughts are invading my head

crashing through my brain

all happy thoughts run down a drain.

I have been having dreamscares

or could they be nightmares?

Of being chased inside a castle

I don't why it's me they hassle!

Screaming for my blood

I think I should chew the cud

I look down, am balanced on a wire

I turn around and now I am being chased by a vampire!

Then a silver horse with wings

comes by, its salvation he brings

Pegasus has come to take me away

but then the wind blows me astray.

Gone! Lost in a crash of thunder

only my rescue could be a blunder

Then soft and fair voices are what I hear.

Could they be Elves, no! it's what I fear.

A large snake, twisting, writhing!

Squeezing me ever so tightly.

I am losing my life in never-ending pain.

Life I feel is nothing for me to gain.

A sensible voice tells me what I want to know

"It's only a dream!" then appears a headless shadow.

I look up, a ghost is in front of me,

all crookéd and cankered, but is a he!

He brings out his hand from beneath his cloak

Then a voice is heard, it is a croak.

"I will protect and save you,

it appears I arrived on cue!"

That's when I awaken

All sweaty and shaken

There is still night

still hours to make my dreams aright!

I close my eyes, Pegasus is back!

I get on him and we fly between unseen tract.

No thunder this time but a person beckoning me down.

Its a raven haired moon Princess in silver shimmering gown.

She calls me over with her hypnotic voice

which leaves me with no choice

but to do as she says: "Stay, my daughter, thou art mine ever more!

Stay and ride, and live by my tranquil shores!"

I live with her now and I am care-free

Pegasus is my horse and we ride eternally

The only dread, I remember I own

Is Eosophobia: Fear of the Dawn!

I heard this word on the radio and was immediately inspired. This was years ago!
